Output from FailureDetector MBean changed in 2.1.10

2015-10-08 Thread Jared Biel
Hello, We use the output from the AllEndpointStates attribute of the org.apache.cassandra.net:type=FailureDetector MBean via MX4J for basic monitoring/sanity checking. I've found that the output changed between 2.1.9 and 2.1.10; there is now additional info for some of the keys (DC, RELEASE_VERSIO

I assume "@ Of node" is ethX's IP address? Has cassandra been restarted since changes were made to cassandra.yaml? The netstat output that you posted doesn't look right; we use settings similar to what you've posted. Here's what it looks like on one of our nodes. -Jared On 14 September 2015 at 1

Very nice, I had forgotten about Cyclop. We used to use Cassandra Cluster Admin, but it doesn't support CQL so it's not very useful anymore. If you're looking for a developer UI, I recommend trying DataStax DevCenter ( http://www.datastax.com/what-we-offer/products-services/devcenter). It's complet

Re: Experience with multihoming cassandra?

2014-09-25 Thread Jared Biel
Doing this seems counter-productive to Cassandra's design/use-cases. It's best at home running on a large number of smaller servers rather than a small number of large servers. Also, as you said, you won't get any of the high availability benefits that it offers if you run multiple copies of Cassan

I can't comment on your specific issue, but I don't know if running 2.0.0 in production is a good idea. At the very least I'd try upgrading to the latest 2.0.X (currently 2.0.3.) https://engineering.eventbrite.com/what-version-of-cassandra-should-i-run/ On 20 December 2013 06:08, Alexander Shuty

This is something that I found while using the multi-region snitch - it uses public IPs for communication. See the original ticket here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2452. It'd be nice if it used the private IPs to communicate with nodes that are in the same region as itself, but

We use a replication factor such that if any one instance dies the cluster would remain alive. If a node dies, we simply replace it and move on. As far as disaster recovery, it's easy to store snapshots in S3, although glacier is looking interesting. Jared Biel System Administrator Bolder Thi

Re: Cassandra at Amazon AWS

2013-01-16 Thread Jared Biel
We're currently using Cassandra on EC2 at very low scale (a 2 node cluster on m1.large instances in two regions.) I don't believe that EBS is recommended for performance reasons. Also, it's proven to be very unreliable in the past (most of the big/notable AWS outages were due to EBS issues.) We've
