Hi Vivek, When I write client code in Java, using Hector, I don't specify a cassandra.yaml ... I specify the host(s) and keyspace I want to connect to. Alternately, I specify the host(s) and create the keyspace if the one I would like to use doesn't exist (new cluster for example). At no point do I use yaml file with my client code....
The conf/cassandra.yaml is there to tell the cassandra server how to behave / operate when it starts ... -sd On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Vivek Mishra <vivek.mis...@impetus.co.in> wrote: > > I have a query: > > I have my Cassandra server running on my local machine and it has loaded > Cassandra specific settings from > > apache-cassandra-0.8.0-src/apache-cassandra-0.8.0-src/conf/cassandra.yaml > > Now If I am writing a java program to connect to this server why do I need to > provide a new Cassandra.yaml file again?
