Stefan Miklosovic edited comment on CASSANDRA-20448 at 3/19/25 1:13 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Instead of printing timestamps like that, I introduced new option as the third parameter (defaults to false) which would make it human-readable. Disk size of SSTable is introduced too but by default in non-human-readable form. When human-readable parameter is used, it will print it for humans. usage like: {code} ./tools/bin/sstableexpiredblockers true ks tb ./tools/bin/sstableexpiredblockers false ks tb ./tools/bin/sstableexpiredblockers ks tb // same as above line ./tools/bin/sstableexpiredblockers Usage: sstableexpiredblockers [<human readable>] <keyspace> <table> <human readable> represents placeholder for string 'true' or 'false'. Defaults to false. If set to true, timestamps will be printed out as dates instead of numbers. {code} was (Author: smiklosovic): Instead of printing timestamps like that, I introduced new option as the third parameter (defaults to false) which would make it human-readable.
