We have some cassandra tables that have undergone extensive modification over the life of our application. This has lead to a significant alter table history. It is my understanding that this history is necessary to process sstables that may contain columns that might have been removed. Due to the performance limits of the gossip protocol this history makes restoring snapshots time-intensive.
Is there a a way to, for lack of a better word, "rebase" the schema and sstables of a table to the latest schema to expunge the history? Thanks! -- Mark Bidewell http://www.linkedin.com/in/markbidewell
