The documentation is referring to Consistent Range Movements. There is a change in 2.1 that won't allow you to bootstrap multiple nodes at the same time unless you explicitly turn off consistent range movements. Check out the jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2434 All the bes

OK. Thanks. I'll monitor the resources status (network, memory, cpu, io) as I go and try to bootsrap them at chunks which seems not to have a bad impact. Will do regarding the cleanup. Thanks! On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 4:08 PM, Carlos Rolo wrote: > Independent of the snitch, data needs to travel t

Independent of the snitch, data needs to travel to the new nodes (plus all the keyspace information that goes via gossip). So I won't bootstrap them all at once, even if it is only for network traffic generated. Don't forget to run cleanup on the old nodes once all nodes are in place to reclaim di

Thanks for the response. Sure we'll monitor as we're adding nodes. We're now using 6 nodes on each DC. (We have 2 DCs) Each node contains ~800GB Do you know how rack configurations are relevant here? Do you see any reason to bootstrap them one by one if we're not using rack awareness? On Mon, Ap

Start one node at a time. Wait 2 minutes before starting each node. How much data and nodes you have already? Depending on that, the streaming of data can stress on the resources you have. I would recommend to start one and monitor, if things are ok, add another one. And so on. Regards, Carlos

Adding nodes to existing cluster

Hi all, In the near future I'll need to add more than 10 nodes to a 2.0.9 cluster (using vnodes). I read this documentation on datastax website: http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/operations/ops_add_node_to_cluster_t.html In one point it says: "If you are using racks, you can safe
