  • Options are:
    • ( -h | --host ) <host name> | <ip address>
    • ( -p | --port ) <port number>
    • ( -pw | --password ) <password >
    • ( -u | --username ) <user name>
    • ( -pwf <passwordFilePath | --password-file <passwordFilePath> )
  • -- separates an option and argument that could be mistaken for a option.
  • src-dc-name is the name of the datacenter from which to select sources for streaming. You can pick any datacenter.

Description

This command operates on multiple nodes in a cluster. Similar to bootstrap. Rebuild (like bootstrap) only streams data from a single source replica per range. Use this command to bring up a new datacenter in an existing cluster.
