Hi all, I have recently been trying to restore backups from a v1.0.x cluster we have into a 1.1.7 cluster. This has not been as trivial as I expected, and I've had a lot of help from the IRC channel in tackling this problem. As a way of saying thanks, I'd like to contribute the updated ruby script I was originally given for accomplishing this task. Here it is.
https://gist.github.com/1c161edab88a4e4aea06 It takes a keyspace directory as the input, then creates symlinks in the output directory with the 1.1 structure pointing to the 1.0 sstables. If you've specified a host, it will then invoke the sstableloader for each of the Keyspaces and CFs it discovers in the output directory. I hope this is helpful to someone else. I'll keep the gist updated as I update the script. Todd
