I think I've solved my own problem here. After generating the sstable using json2sstable it looks like I can simply copy the created sstable into my data directory.
Can anyone think of any potential problems with doing it this way? -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Pope [mailto:stephen.p...@quest.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 9:32 AM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: BulkLoader I'm trying to figure out how to use the BulkLoader, and it looks like there's no way to run it against a local machine, because of this: Set<InetAddress> hosts = Gossiper.instance.getLiveMembers(); hosts.remove(FBUtilities.getLocalAddress()); if (hosts.isEmpty()) throw new IllegalStateException("Cannot load any sstable, no live member found in the cluster"); Is this intended behavior? May I ask why? We'd like to be able to run it against the local machine. Cheers, Steve
