Question

I have done a snapshot of one of the key space which has 10 column family. There are 10 snapshot folder under each of column family folder.i want to restore these snapshot in one the development server (single node).

How can i easily restore it on a development using sstanbleloader

Dev node is on a Windows 2012 Standard Server Prod is on a Windows 2012 Ent.Edition Server

Answer 1

You probably don't need to use sstableloader in this case. I think the most straightforward method would be the "Node restart method" described here .

There are plenty of details in the docs, but basically: stop the node, remove data files from data directories, and replace with snapshot files.
