Description

This command saves the specified number of key and row caches to the saved caches directory, which you specify in the cassandra.yaml. The key-cache-keys-to-save argument corresponds to the key_cache_keys_to_save in the cassandra.yaml, which is disabled by default, meaning all keys will be saved. The row-cache-keys-to-save argument corresponds to the row_cache_keys_to_save in the cassandra.yaml, which is disabled by default.

The location of the cassandra.yaml file depends on the type of installation:
Package installations /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml
Tarball installations install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml
