Hello, I am trying to setup a cluser (for the first time) of a few nodes. Had a few questions related to that.
I want the following properties in my cluster: 1. Not to use RP but BOP 2. Specify initial token myself on each node. 3. Change a few memtable defaults. 4. For Keyspaces to use NetworkTopologyStrategy rather than the default SimpleStrategy. I wish to specify how many copies each DC should carry. For the above I changed the cassandra.yaml and cassandra-topology.properties files appropriately on the first node. My question is: For the rest of the nodes, do I have to make all of the above changes first to their respective config files or just a smaller subset such as (listen_address, seed, autobootstrap and rpc_address) ? What happens if there is a conflict between the yaml files on different nodes (say one says RP and other says BOP. Or say one says PropertyFileSnitch and the other says SimpleSnitch)? Is there a good post or video tutorial somewhere that walks step by step of cassandra cluster setup, which talks of all these and then how to change various knobs (tokens,replication_factor, cassandra-topology.properties etc) and see their effect on the cluster ? Many thanks.
