sstablerepairedset

Sets status as repaired or unrepaired on a given set of SSTables and updates the repairedAt field to denote the time of the repair.

Sets status as repaired or unrepaired on a given set of SSTables and updates the repairedAt field to denote the time of the repair. This metadata facilitates incremental repairs. Use this tool in the process of migrating an installation to incremental repair.

Restriction: DataStax Enterprise must be stopped before you run this command.
Tip: Use the following command to list all the *Data.db files in a keyspace: 
find '/home/user/dse-6.7.2/data/keyspace1/' -iname "*Data.db*"

Synopsis

sstablerepairedset --really-set [--is-repaired | --is-unrepaired] [-f sstable_list_file | sstable_filepath]
Table 1. Legend
Syntax conventions Description
UPPERCASE Literal keyword.
Lowercase Not literal.
Italics Variable value. Replace with a valid option or user-defined value.
[ ] Optional. Square brackets ( [ ] ) surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.
( ) Group. Parentheses ( ( ) ) identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.
| Or. A vertical bar ( | ) separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the vertical bar.
... Repeatable. An ellipsis ( ... ) indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.
'Literal string' Single quotation ( ' ) marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case.
{ key:value } Map collection. Braces ( { } ) enclose map collections or key value pairs. A colon separates the key and the value.
<datatype1,datatype2> Set, list, map, or tuple. Angle brackets ( < > ) enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma.
cql_statement; End CQL statement. A semicolon ( ; ) terminates all CQL statements.
[ -- ] Separate the command line options from the command arguments with two hyphens ( -- ). This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.
' <schema> ... </schema> ' Search CQL only: Single quotation marks ( ' ) surround an entire XML schema declaration.
@xml_entity='xml_entity_type' Search CQL only: Identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrconfig files.
