Synopsis 

nodetool connection_options abortrebuild [-r 'log_comment']

Main options

The following options apply to all nodetool commands:
Main options
Short Long Description
-h --host Hostname or IP address.
-p --port Port number.
-pwf --password-file Password file path.
-pw --password Password.
-u --username Username.
--   Separates command parameters from a list of options.
Note:
  • If a username and password for RMI authentication are set explicitly in the cassandra-env.sh file for the host, then you must specify credentials.
    The location of the cassandra-env.sh file depends on the type of installation:
    DataStax Enterprise 5.0 Installer-Services and package installations /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh
    DataStax Enterprise 5.0 Installer-No Services and tarball installations install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra-env.sh
    Cassandra package installations /etc/cassandra/cassandra-env.sh
    Cassandra tarball installations install_location/conf/cassandra-env.sh
  • The repair and rebuild commands can affect multiple nodes in the cluster.
  • Most nodetool commands operate on a single node in the cluster if -h is not used to identify one or more other nodes. If the node from which you issue the command is the intended target, you do not need the -h option to identify the target; otherwise, for remote invocation, identify the target node, or nodes, using -h.
Example:
nodetool -u username -pw password command command_options
-r 'log_comment', --reason 'log_comment'
