Hi all, I have a C* cluster with five nodes and my cassandra version is 2.1.1 and we also enable "Hinted Handoff" . Everything is fine while we use C* cluster to store up to 10 billion rows of data. But now we have a problem. During our test, after we import up to 40 billion rows of data into C* cluster, we manually remove the network cable of one node(eg: there are 5 nodes, and we remove just one network cable of node to simulate minor network problem with C* cluster), then we create another table and import 30 million into this table. Before we reconnect the network cable of that node, we export the data of the new table, we can export all 30 million rows many times. But after we reconnect the network cable, we export the data immediately and we cannot all the 30 million rows of data. Maybe a fewer minutes later, after the C* cluster balance all the datas( my guess) , then we do the exporting , we could export all the 30 million rows of data. Is there something wrong with "Hinted Handoff"? Whille coping data from coordinator node to the newer incoming node, is the newer node can response the client`s request? Thanks in advances!
