Re: nodetool repair uses insane amount of disk space

2012-08-20 Thread Michael Morris
Thanks everyone, for the pointers. I've found an opportunity to simplify the setup, still 2 DCs and 3 rack setup (RF = 1 for DC with 1 rack, and RF = 2 for DC with 2 racks), but now each rack contains 9 nodes with even token distribution. Once I got the new topology in place, I ran multiple repai

I would take a look at the replication: whats the RF per DC and what does nodetool ring say. It's hard (as in no recommended) to get NTS with rack allocation working correctly. Without know much more I would try to understand what the topology is and if it can be simplified. >> Additionally, t

nodetool repair uses insane amount of disk space

2012-08-16 Thread Michael Morris
