Migrating from Snappy to LZ4 on C* 1.2

2014-04-29 Thread Katriel Traum
Hello, I am running mostly Cassandra 1.2 on my clusters, and wanted to migrate my current Snappy compressed CF's to LZ4. Changing the schema is easy, my questions are: 1. Will previous, Snappy compressed tables still be readable? 2. Will upgradesstables convert my current CFs from Snappy to LZ4?

Impact of adding nodes to cluster

2014-04-24 Thread Katriel Traum
Hello list, I have a cluster of 3 nodes with RF=3. The cluster load is daily bulk write/delete/compact, and read the rest of the time. For better read performance, and to make sure data is 100% consistent, we write with "ALL" and read "ONE", stopping the write process if there is a problem. My pr

Adding datacenter for move to vnodes

2014-02-02 Thread Katriel Traum
Hello list. I'm upgrading a 1.1 cassandra cluster to 1.2(.13). I've read here and in other places that the best way to migrate to vnodes is to add a new DC, with the same amount of nodes, and run rebuild on each of them. However, I'm faced with the fact that I'm using EC2MultiRegion snitch, which

Hello list, I was if anyone has any pointers or some advise regarding using row cache vs leaving it up to the OS buffer cache. I run cassandra 1.1 and 1.2 with JNA, so off-heap row cache is an option. Any input appreciated. Katriel

Uneven effective ownership

Hello list, I have a problem with my cluster ownership not being as expected. I have 2 DC cluster using NetworkTopologyStrategy on and EC2MultiRegionSnitch with cassandra 1.1.5. My placement strategy for all keyspaces is: {eu-west: 3, us-east:3 }, and I have 6 nodes in eu-west and 3 in us-east. I
