has anybody written up anything related to recovery for fails in EC2?

this morning i woke up to find 1 (of 4) nodes marked as unreachable. i used the datastax (1.0.7) ami to set up my cluster and the node that fail had the token id of 0 (this is the seed node - right?). the docs says to replace a failed node to set the token to failed node - 1, which i don't think would work. luckily rebooting the machine

but i'm left with the question of what should i do if node with the token ID of 0 fails and should i even have a node with that ID.


thanks,
deno

Cassandra with a VPN on EC2. From memory it talks about using the VPN within EC2.

Clients need a single port (9160) to talk to the cluster.

Hope that helps.

Are there any good resources for best practices when running Cassandra within EC2? I'm particularly interested in the security issues, when the servers communicating w/ Cassandra are outside of EC2.

Thanks,
