Description

During CASSANDRA-15883 / CASSANDRA-15991 it was detected unit test coverage for this tool is minimal. A unit test under test/unit/org/apache/cassandra/tools is needed, docs improvements to reflect all options making sure cmd args parsing is done through some framework rather than being a simple brittle custom code.
