Hi All, We recently upgraded from .65 to .66 after which we tried adding a new node to our cluster. We left it bootstrapping and after 3 days, it still refused to join the ring. The strange thing is that nodetool info shows 50GB of load and nodetool ring shows that it sees the rest of ring, which it is not part of. We tried the process again with another server -- again the same thing as before:
//from machine 192.168.2.18 /opt/cassandra/bin/nodetool -h localhost -p 8999 info 131373516047318302934572185119435768941 Load : 52.85 GB Generation No : 1287761987 Uptime (seconds) : 323157 Heap Memory (MB) : 795.42 / 1945.63 /opt/cassandra/bin/nodetool -h localhost -p 8999 ring Address Status Load Range Ring 158573510920250391466717289405976537674 192.168.2.22 Up 59.45 GB 28203205416427384773583427414698832202 |<--| 192.168.2.23 Up 44.95 GB 60562227403709245514637766500430120055 | | 192.168.2.20 Up 47.15 GB 104160057322065544623939416372654814065 | | 192.168.2.21 Up 61.04 GB 158573510920250391466717289405976537674 |-->| opt/cassandra/bin/nodetool -h localhost -p 8999 streams Mode: Bootstrapping Not sending any streams. Not receiving any streams. Whats more, while looking at the log of one of the nodes I see gossip messages from 192.168.1.17 -- the first node we tried to add to the cluster but which is not running at the the time of the log message: INFO [Timer-0] 2010-10-26 02:13:20,340 Gossiper.java (line 406) FatClient /192.168.2.17 has been silent for 3600000ms, removing from gossip INFO [GMFD:1] 2010-10-26 02:13:51,398 Gossiper.java (line 591) Node /192.168.2.17 is now part of the cluster Thanks in advance for the help, Dimitry
