Description

I have recently upgraded my cassandra cluster to 2.2, currently running 2.2.3. After running the first repair, cassandra renames the sstables to the new naming schema that does not contain the keyspace name.

This causes sstablemetadata to fail with the following stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
