So still waiting for any sort of answer on this one. The cluster still refuses to do anything when I bring up new nodes. I shut down all the new nodes and am waiting. I'm guessing that maybe the old nodes have some state which needs to get cleared out? Is there anything I can do at this point? Are there alternate strategies for bootstrapping I can try? (For instance can I just scp all the sstables to all the new nodes and do a repair, would that actually work?).
Anyone seen this sort of issue? All this is with 0.6.3 so I assume eventually others will see this issue. -Anthony On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 10:45:08PM -0700, Anthony Molinaro wrote: > Okay, so things were pretty messed up.
