Description
Lets have this output:
nodetool status Datacenter: dc1 =============== Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving -- Address Load Tokens Owns (effective) Host ID Rack UN 172.19.0.9 385.29 KiB 256 66.6% 6d194555-f6eb-41d0-c000-000000000003 rack3 UN 172.19.0.5 609.07 KiB 256 68.4% 6d194555-f6eb-41d0-c000-000000000001 rack1 UN 172.19.0.8 377.5 KiB 256 65.0% 6d194555-f6eb-41d0-c000-000000000002 rack2
This is a very simple case but it will serve well for the explanation.
What I would like to see is to have this output sorted. If I am looking for a particular node, e.g. by IP address, these entries are not sorted by IP in general, so when I have 20-nodes cluster and I want to check a particular node, it is like a needle in a haystack so I would welcome if they are ordered by IP.
This can be generalized to other columns - sort by Load, for example, to see what nodes are the most loaded ones, sort by host id would be cool too. TCM introduced kind of predictable node ids so sorting them should give you the order in which nodes have been added etc.
There might be a new switch added like "--sort=ip/id/load/rack". For loads, it would sort it from the most loaded one to least loaded one. For IPs and IDs, it would sort them from the "lowest" to the "highest" node in terms of IP address and ID. We might also group nodes by rack and by node id inside a rack.
This should be done per DC.
