Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your mail. I am leaning towards making a new
cluster since I am using cassandra version
0.7.3 and the fix you have put in is in cassandra 0.7.5, and I am less
adventurous primarily because it is live system and service disruption is
not what is desirable.
I have two more questions for you:
a)Is there a way to specify snitch in cassandra per CF rather than one
snitch for all column family.
b)I have a weird issue with 0.7.3 when using property file snitch and a new
node is added to an existing running
cassandra cluster(which uses property file snitch) I have to add new node's
IP to the cassandra-topology.properties of all the existing cassandra nodes
otherwise the new node gives error
