Hi Claude, while technically possible, I do not see a lot of people would use this. I am for straightforward -H option instead of introducing -Hn which seems to bring almost no value and brings discrepancy into the nodetool flags. I think there are other -H outputs for other commands, are not there? Should not we then also take a look if -Hn is not applicable for them as well? Anyway ... this seems to be just a lot of work with almost no benefit.

In the above example it would translate to: Space used (live): 1.46 TiB Space used (total): 1.46 TiB Bytes repaired: 0.00 KiB Bytes unrepaired: 4.31 TiB Bytes pending repair: 0.000 KiB I just think with human readable format we just expect to have a grasp view of the stats and 4th significant digit has very little meaning in that case. thanks, Jacek
