I was reading http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cassandra-user/201208.mbox/%3CCAGZm5drRh3VXNpHefR9UjH8H=dhad2y18s0xmam5cs4yfl5...@mail.gmail.com%3E As we are having the same issue in 1.2.2. We modify to LCS and cassandra-cli shows us at LCS on any node we run cassandra cli on, but then looking at cqlsh, it is showing us at SizeTieredCompactionStrategy :(.
Thanks, Dean
