Other options are:
Short Long Description
-dc --dcs The name of the datacenter that Cassandra uses as the source for streaming. Cassandra rebuilds from any datacenter. If a datacenter is not specified, Cassandra chooses at random.
-ts --tokens Token ranges, specify in this format: (start_token_1,end_token_1],(start_token_2,end_token_2],...(start_token_n,end_token_n].

Description

This command operates on multiple nodes in a cluster. The rebuild tool only streams data from a single source replica when rebuilding a token range.

If rebuild fails because some token ranges cannot be retrieved, you can rebuild selectively by using the -ts or --token option to specify a list of tokens, or one or more token ranges.

Attention: If nodetool rebuild is interrupted before completing its process, it cannot be restarted from the point of failure. If you run rebuild again, it starts from the beginning.
