Hi Aaron, thanks for the response. Permissions are correct : owner is cassandra (ubuntu) and permissions are drwxr-xr-x
When I created the schema, the KS were created as directory in the .../data/ directory When I use cassandra-cli, set the CL to QUORUM, ensure two instances are up (nodetool ring) and set a bogus column, I get an Unavailable exception which is weird. I just noticed that when the new cluster nodes start up, auto_bootstrap is set to true. Given that it's no longer in the YAML file, I didn't set it to false; would that explain it ? Once I removed it and set logging to TRACE, I get these relevant log lines SliceQueryFilter.java (line 123) collecting 1 of 2147483647: XXX:5123@1367333147034 a bunch of Schema.java (line 382) Adding org.apache.cassandra.config.CFMetaData@45f8acdc [cfId=1009,ksName=XXX,cfName=YYY... Removing compacted SSTable files from XXX No bootstrapping, leaving or moving nodes -> empty pending ranges for XXX (my KS) Table.java (line 317) Initializing XXX.YYY (KS and CF) Any ideas ? 2013/4/30 aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com> > Double check the file permissions ? > > Write some data (using cqlsh or cassandra-cli) and flush to make sure the > new files are created where you expect them to be. > > Cheers > > ----------------- > Aaron Morton > Freelance Cassandra Consultant > New Zealand > > @aaronmorton > http://www.thelastpickle.com > > On 1/05/2013, at 4:15 AM, Philippe <watche...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I'm trying to bring up a copy of an existing 3-node cluster running > 1.0.8 into a 3-node cluster running 1.0.11. > > The new cluster has been configured to have the same tokens and the same > partitioner. > > > > Initially, I copied the files in the data directory of each node into > their corresponding node on the new cluster.
