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.
Tarball and Installer No-Services path:
<installation_location>/resources/cassandra/tools/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.
