I think Arron meant /var/lib/cassandra (by default) Check there (unless you changed you data directories in your cassandra.yaml)

So I wouldn't think this should be so complicated. But one day hopefully from this node a cluster will grow, but that we shall have to wait and see. At any rate, at /var/log/cassandra I don't see a directory called system. All I see is a system log (a bunch of them rotated, I won't show the rotated logs: [root@beta:~] #ls -l /var/log/cassandra/system.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12003809 Jan 9 22:29 /var/log/cassandra/system.log On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 7:21 PM, aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com<mailto:aa...@thelastpickle.com>> wrote: /var/log/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo The only LocationInfo files I see pertaining to cassandra are here: [root@beta:~] #locate LocationInfo | grep -i -v -e backup -e nagios /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-249-Data.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-249-Digest.sha1 /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-249-Filter.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-249-Index.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-249-Statistics.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-250-Data.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-250-Digest.sha1 /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-250-Filter.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-250-Index.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-250-Statistics.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-251-Data.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-251-Digest.sha1 /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-251-Filter.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-251-Index.db /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/LocationInfo-hd-251-Statistics.db Not sure what the effect of removing these files would be, but would doing so allow me to change my cluster name while retaining my keyspace schema?
