Cassandra - sstable2json "-f" option doesn't work

Question

I am using Cassandra 0.7.8, and I encountered an error message "You must supply exactly one sstable" when using command: "bin/sstable2json [-f OUT_FILE] SSTABLE" my command is: bin/sstable2json -f test.json /storage/cassandra/Test-f-35-Data.db

So, does "-f" option work in this version?

Answer 1

Looks like the -f flag was removed in 0.6 (see CASSANDRA-766). When I run sstable2json I see no mention of -f (on 1.0). You should redirect the output to a file using your shell:

./bin/sstable2json /storage/cassandra/Test-f-35-Data.db > test.json
