Hi,

If you fear overloading the source DC for rebuild, you can try starting
rebuild one node at a time on the target DC.  Better options exist for
throttling, see below.

You can stop rebuild on a single node by restarting Cassandra server
process.  Rebuild can be resumed by running `nodetool rebuild ...` again.
