All, I wanted to test restore Cassandra from sstables locally, but every time I try to do it I get the "Connection reset" error in the sstableloader.
Cassandra server log: https://gist.github.com/2773722 sstableloader log: https://gist.github.com/2773733 Cassandra and sstableloader version: 1.0.8 It seems like this is also related and affected by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4051, but that's not the actual root cause for this error. To me, the "Connection reset" error indicates it might be a networking / Thrift issue. I haven't actually ran Wireshark yet, but if someone thinks a network dump would be useful, I would be happy to provide that as well. Thanks, Tomaz
