Hi John,
Did you start this Riak instance successfully with `riak@127.0.0.1`
before changing `nodename`? If you did, changing the `nodename` can
cause a failure similar to what you're seeing.
>From here your options are:
1. Discard the existing ring metadata by removing the contents of the
ring
i downloaded riak-2.0.0pre5-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
riak node starts fine with
## Name of the riak node
# this fails
#nodename = riak@myhost.mydomain
#this works
#nodename = riak@127.0.0.1
#this also fails
nodename = riak@10.10.10.10
the riak processes seem to start still despite the FAILED message, but
Also, while LevelDB appears to be largely an append only format, the
documentation currently does not recommend live backups, presumably because
there are some issues that can crop up if restoring a DB that was not
cleanly shutdown.
I am guessing those issues are the ones documented as edge cases
How well does Riak Search play with backups? Can you backup the Riak
Search data without bringing the node down?
The Riak documentation backup page is completely silent on Riak Search and
its merge_index backend.
And looking forward, what is the backup strategy for Yokozuna? Will it
make use of
