Description

When restoring data from backup, for reasons of data recovery or analysis, if the data was set to TTL, then some or all of the data will be inaccessible unless you either force your entire cluster to have their clocks set in the past, or by slowly and painfully using sstable2json, stripping ttls there, and then json2sstable before loading.

I propose a flag "-ignore-ttl" that could be based to sstableloader that would automatically strip any ttls from cells as they are loaded
