sstableloader remote bulk upload

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to upload data from a snapshot and why I'm getting this error on the bulk upload. The local machine is trying to connect to cassandra.mydomain.com. The cassandra.yaml is the yaml from the remote server. I'm getting the same error with and without specifying --conf-path

Thanks for any advice. cassandra version 3.11.2

~/deploy/cassandra/bin/sstableloader -d cassandra.mydomain.com --conf-path /tmp/cassandra.yaml /local/.data/cassandra/data/test/timeserie_time_daily-dd247b092e883bffbfce8621eff3cc3e/snapshots/1634621703263

As the exception states, you need to provide the correct URL to the cassandra.yaml.

If you're using a YAML that's on the local machine, you need to prefix it with file:///. For example:

$ sstableloader -f file:///path/to/cassandra.yaml
    -d node1
    ks_name/table_name

If you're specifying a YAML that's on a remote machine, you need to prefix it with file://host/. For example:

$ sstableloader -f file://hostname_or_ip/path/to/cassandra.yaml
    -d node1
    ks_name/table_name
