I am a new user of Cassandra and want to understand the basics of Cassandra 
before moving to cluster installations etc..

I picked up the latest version of Cassandra from the home page 1.0.7 released 
on 2012/01/16. I am installing on Windows 7

I have followed all the instx for changing the Cassandra.yaml and also the 
environment variables.. However when I start the server, I get the following 
error -

What could be the problem ???

Subject: Re: nodetool ring question

There were some nodetool ring load reporting issues with early version of 1.0.X 
don't remember when they were fixed, but that could be your issue.  Are you 
using compressed column families, a lot of the issues were with those.
Might update to 1.0.7.

Hi,

I have a 4 nodes cluster 1.0.3 version

This is what I get when I run nodetool ring

I have finished running repair on all 4 nodes.

I have less then 10 GB on the /var/lib/cassandra/data/ folders

My question is Why nodetool reports almost 50 GB on each node?

Thanks
Michael
