Hi Andrei,

As you know, we are using Whirr for ElasticInbox (https://github.com/elasticinbox/whirr-elasticinbox). While testing we encountered a few minor problems which I think could be improved. Note that we were using 0.6 (there were some strange bug in 0.7, maybe fixed already).

Although initial_token is pre-calculated to form balanced cluster, our tests cluster (4 nodes) was always unbalanced. There were no initial_token specified (just default).

Second note is AWS specific - for the performance reasons it's better to store data files on ephemeral drive. Currently data stored under default location (/var/...)

Thanks for the great work!

Hi guys,

I just want to the let you know that Apache Whirr trunk (the upcoming 0.7.1 release) can deploy Cassandra 1.0.7 on AWS EC2 & Rackspace Cloud.

You can give it a try by running the following commands:

And the last thing we would appreciate any suggestions on improving the deployment scripts or on improving Whirr.

Thanks,
