Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-5524:
----------------------------------------

so, scrub currently already has the side effect of upgrading sstables and is already offline.

what if we modified scrub to be able to work on snapshots as well as live sstables?

> Currently, upgradesstables only modifies live SSTables.  Because sstableloader cannot stream old SSTable formats, this makes it difficult to restore data from a snapshot taken in a previous major version of Cassandra.
> Allowing the user to specify a directory for upgradesstables would resolve this, but it may also be nice to upgrade SSTables in snapshot directories automatically or with a separate flag.
