Everything that I've read about data centers focuses on setting things
up at the beginning of time.
I've the the following situation:
10 machines in a datacenter (DC1), with replication factor of 2.
I want to set up a second data center (DC2) with the following
configuration:
20 machines with a replication factor of 4
What I've found is that if I initially start adding things, the first
machine to join the network attempts to replicate all of the data from
DC1 and fills up it's disk drive. I've played with setting the
storage_options to have a replication factor of 0, then I can bring up
all 20 machines in DC2 but then start getting a huge number of read
errors from read on DC1.
Is there a simple cookbook on how to add a second DC? I'm currently
trying to set the replication factor to 1 and do a repair, but that
doesn't feel like the right approach.
Thanks,
