I am trying to get total space used by a cassandra table . I have run cfstats command and its output has Space used (total) field , but I am not pretty sure if space used by table also includes space occupied by replicas too . and also does space mentioned is in bytes ?

How do I get the table size in Cassandra?
There isn't a utility for that so you'll need to do some manual calculations using the value in the nodetool tablestats (previously cfstats) output.
For example if you had a 6-node DC with a replication factor of 3 and each node had about 100GB of data each, the total size is:
table_size = ( 100GB + 100GB + 100GB + 100GB + 100GB + 100GB ) / 3
= 600GB / 3
= 200GB
And yes, the units in the output is in bytes. Cheers!
