Description

If there is a dot in the file path passed to sstabledump, it fails with an error partitioner org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner does not match system partitioner org.apache.cassandra.dht.LocalPartitioner.

I can work around this by renaming the directory containing the file, but it seems like a bug. I expected the directory name to be irrelevant.

Example (assumes you have a keyspace test containing a table called sport, but should repro with any keyspace/table):

$ cp -a /var/lib/cassandra/data/test/sport-ebe76350474e11e6879fc5e30fbb0e96 testdir
$ sstabledump testdir/mb-1-big-Data.db
[
  {
    "partition" : {
      "key" : [ "2" ],
      "position" : 0
    },
    "rows" : [
      {
        "type" : "row",
        "position" : 18,
        "liveness_info" : { "tstamp" : "2016-07-11T10:15:22.766107Z" },
        "cells" : [
          { "name" : "score", "value" : "Golf" },
          { "name" : "sport_type", "value" : "5" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]
$ cp -a /var/lib/cassandra/data/test/sport-ebe76350474e11e6879fc5e30fbb0e96 test.dir
$ sstabledump test.dir/mb-1-big-Data.db
ERROR 15:02:52 Cannot open /home/centos/test.dir/mb-1-big; partitioner org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner does not match system partitioner org.apache.cassandra.dht.LocalPartitioner.  Note that the default partitioner starting with Cassandra 1.2 is Murmur3Partitioner, so you will need to edit that to match your old partitioner if upgrading.
