Bootstrapping a new node to a virtual node cluster

2013-02-09 Thread Jouni Hartikainen
Hello all, I have a cluster of three nodes running 1.2.1 and I'd like to increase the capacity by adding a new node. I'm using virtual nodes with 256 tokens and planning to use the same configuration for the new node as well. My cluster looks like this before adding the new node: Status=Up/Dow

persisted ring state

In one of the scenarios that I encountered, I needed to change the token on the node. I added new token and started the node with-Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false in anticipation that the node will not pick from the locally persisted data. Is that the right way to do? or -Dcassandra.load_ring_s

Re: Cassandra 1.1.2 -> 1.1.8 upgrade

2013-02-09 Thread Mike
Thank you, Another question on this topic. Upgrading from 1.1.2->1.1.9 requires running upgradesstables, which will take many hours on our dataset (about 12). For this upgrade, is it recommended that I: 1) Upgrade all the DB nodes to 1.1.9 first, then go around the ring and run a staggered

SSTables are write once. As soon as they appear on disk they ARE flushed. This means you can safely copy them away. You should run nodetool snapshot first and copy those hardlinks, because this will guarantee that the file will not be compacted away while you are copying it. On Sat, Feb 9, 2013 at
