I think the RAC placement of these 12 nodes will become important. As the 12 nodes are placed in SimpleSnitch, which is not RAC aware, it would be good to retain them in single RAC in the property file snitch also initially. node repair is a safe option. If you need to change the RAC placement, my

"As long as you correctly configure the new snitch so that the replica sets do not change, no, you do not need to repair." Is the following correct: The replica sets do not change if you modify the snitch from SimpleSnitch to NetworkTopologyStrategy and the topology file puts all nodes in the sam

What I understand is that SimpleStrategy determines the endpoints for replica's by traversing the ring clock-wise. NetworkTopologyStrategy determines the replica's by traversing the ring clock-wise and taking into account the racks and DC locations. Since the file used by PropertyFileSnitch puts

Yes, you must run a full repair for the reasons stated in the yaml file. Mark On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 11:52 AM, Rene Kochen wrote: > Hi all, > > I want to add a data-center to an existing single data-center cluster. > First I have to make the existing cluster multi data-center compatible. > >

Make an existing cluster multi data-center compatible.

Hi all, I want to add a data-center to an existing single data-center cluster. First I have to make the existing cluster multi data-center compatible. The existing cluster is a 12 node cluster with: - Replication factor = 3 - Placement strategy = SimpleStrategy - Endpoint snitch = SimpleSnitch I
