I want to run some of the programs in SSTable Tools however the doc says: Cassandra must be stopped before these tools are executed, or unexpected results will occur. Note: the scripts do not verify that Cassandra is stopped.

I installed and started cassandra using docker. So how do I run something like sstableutil?

CodePudding user response：

Something like this, but you need to make sure that you have data on the host system, or in the Docker volume (it's good idea anyway):

• stop container
• execute docker run -it ...volume_config... --rm cassandra sstable_command
• start container

P.S. But it really depends on the command - I remember that some commands were documented as required stop, but not really required
