sstablelevelreset
Reset level to zero on a set of SSTables using LeveledCompactionStrategy (LCS).
Usage:
sstablelevelreset [--really-reset] keyspace table
The option --really-reset is a warning that DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is stopped before the tool is run.
For tarball and Installer No-Services installations, run this command from INSTALL_DIRECTORY/resources/cassandra/bin.
Stop DSE on the node, and then choose a keyspace and table to reset to level 0:
sstablelevelreset --really-reset cycling cyclist_name
If the designated table is already at level 0, then no change occurs. If the SSTable is releveled, the metadata is rewritten to designate the level to 0.
