Are there any plans or talks of adding SSL/encryption support between Cassandra nodes? This would make setting up secure cross-country Cassandra clusters much easier, without having to setup a secure overlay network. MySQL supports this in it's replication. -Ben On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 11:23 P

Hi, my name is Larry and I am the Beverage Considerer for NUB Enterprises. I am new to Coke and Digg, but I've already been reading Coke's nutrition facts on the internet and even purchased a bottle the other day (it's sitting in my office fridge right now). It looks like quite a promising office

Joe, (Disclaimer: I work here) Check out http://www.simplegeo.com, we're building a horizontally scalable spatial database on top of Cassandra along with geographic analytics, data provisioning, and hosting services. Using us might be easier than hacking around in the weeds with MongoDB. Sorry f

Re: Running Cassandra as a Windows Service

"For various reasons I am required to deploy systems on Windows." I don't think it would be difficult to argue the business case for running Cassandra on Linux. It's still a young project and everybody in IRC and the mailing list is running it on Linux. You should really re-think whatever factor

Re: Data loss and corruption

2010-06-09 Thread Ben Standefer
In my opinion the #1 risk for corruption is user/client error with the timestamps. Over time, Cassandra flushes data from memory to disks. After it flushes to disk, Cassandra doesn't go back to delete or modify that data. Because of this, deletes are performed by writing a "tombstone" to disk.

On EC2, it is common and recommended ( http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=100&externalID=1663) to use XFS's freeze/thaw functionality to create near-online snapshots of an EBS volume for MySQL snapshots. "Besides being a stable, modern, high performance, journalin
