Hi, Well you can do it through copy / past all the sstable as written in the link you gave as long as your token ranges distribution did not change since you took the snapshots and that you have a way to be sure what node each sstable belongs. Make sure that snapshot taken to node X indeed go back to node X.
If you do not have information on where the sstable comes from or if you added / removed nodes, then using the sstableloader is probably a good idea. If you really don't like sstableloader (not sure why), you can paste all the sstables to all the nodes then nodetool refresh + nodetool cleanup. But in most cases, all the data won't fit in one node, plus you might have sstable names identical you'll have to handle. Hope that helps, C*heers, ----------------------- Alain Rodriguez - al...@thelastpickle.com France The Last Pickle - Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com 2016-05-17 11:14 GMT+01:00 Ravi Teja A V <avt...@gmail.com>: > Hi everyone > > I am currently working with Cassandra 3.5.
