First of all, you should have same seed settings with both Node1 and Node2. There is no master node for Cassandra, so every node has to know others nodes. And to know which one stores data, I think it depends on your partitioner and replication factor settings. If you have settings in storage-conf.xml like below, your data stores at only one node because replication factor is 1, and it is distributed by MD5 hash(RandomPartitioner). ---- <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor> <Partitioner>org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner</Partitioner> ---- Hope this helps. ----- Shinpei On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 10:23 PM, Mohammad Mamajiwala <mamajiw...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi, > I am very new to Cassandra 0.6.1.
