Question

I have all keyspaces and tables copied from another cassandara data folder ,How can I restore it in my cassandara node.

I dont have snapshots which are normally required to restore.

Answer 1

You might be able to do this with the Cassandra Bulk Loader.

Assuming a packaged install (with default data and bin locations), try this from one of your nodes:

$ sstableloader -d hostname1,hostname2 /var/lib/cassandra/data/yourKeyspaceName/tableName/

Check out the documentation on the Bulk Loader for more details.
