What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps developers parse and understand Cassandra 5.0+ SSTable components (Data.db, Index.db, Statistics.db, Summary.db, TOC), including compression, BTI indexing, and offset calculations. It aids debugging, troubleshooting, and data-recovery tasks involving raw SSTable files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parse and inspect Data.db, Index.db, Statistics.db, Summary.db, and TOC components.
- Debug binary formats, examine hex dumps, and verify block boundaries across compression algorithms.
- Understand BTI (Big Table Index) mappings and partition boundary layouts for robust data access.
Quick Start
Point this Skill at a local Cassandra SSTable (e.g., Data.db) and use the built-in references to explore format details. Use the accompanying reference notes to interpret flag bytes, VInt encodings, and compression blocks.
