usage: nodetool [(-u <username> | --username <username>)] [(-pw <password> | --password <password>)] [(-pwf <passwordFilePath> | --password-file <passwordFilePath>)] [(-h <host> | --host <host>)] [(-p <port> | --port <port>)] <command> [<args>]

The most commonly used nodetool commands are:

assassinate - Forcefully remove a dead node without re-replicating any data. Use as a last resort if you cannot removenode

bootstrap - Monitor/manage node’s bootstrap process

cleanup - Triggers the immediate cleanup of keys no longer belonging to a node. By default, clean all keyspaces

clearsnapshot - Remove the snapshot with the given name from the given keyspaces. If no snapshotName is specified we will remove all snapshots

compact - Force a (major) compaction on one or more tables or user-defined compaction on given SSTables

compactionhistory - Print history of compaction

compactionstats - Print statistics on compactions

disableautocompaction - Disable autocompaction for the given keyspace and table

disablebackup - Disable incremental backup

disablebinary - Disable native transport (binary protocol)

disablegossip - Disable gossip (effectively marking the node down)

disablehandoff - Disable storing hinted handoffs

move - Move node on the token ring to a new token

netstats - Print network information on provided host (connecting node by default)

pausehandoff - Pause hints delivery process

proxyhistograms - Print statistic histograms for network operations

rangekeysample - Shows the sampled keys held across all keyspaces

rebuild - Rebuild data by streaming from other nodes (similarly to bootstrap)

rebuild_index - A full rebuild of native secondary indexes for a given table

refresh - Load newly placed SSTables to the system without restart

refreshsizeestimates - Refresh system.size_estimates

reloadlocalschema - Reload local node schema from system tables

reloadtriggers - Reload trigger classes

relocatesstables - Relocates sstables to the correct disk

removenode - Show status of current node removal, force completion of pending removal or remove provided ID

repair - Repair one or more tables

replaybatchlog - Kick off batchlog replay and wait for finish

resetlocalschema - Reset node’s local schema and resync

resumehandoff - Resume hints delivery process

ring - Print information about the token ring

scrub - Scrub (rebuild sstables for) one or more tables

setcachecapacity - Set global key, row, and counter cache capacities (in MB units)

setcachekeystosave - Set number of keys saved by each cache for faster post-restart warmup. 0 to disable

setcompactionthreshold - Set min and max compaction thresholds for a given table

setcompactionthroughput - Set the MB/s throughput cap for compaction in the system, or 0 to disable throttling
