Try: * Assuming you are on CL one now, there should be little impact. * to reduce impact set read repair chance on the CF's to 0 * check the stream throughput and compaction throughput in yaml, assume you have * increase the RF * run repair -pr on one node at a time. * set read repair chance to 0.1 or keep it disabled if you want to * change your CL Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Cassandra Consultant New Zealand @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 20/07/2013, at 8:34 PM, Chris Wirt <chris.w...@struq.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I want to increase the replication level in one of our datacenters from 1 to > 2.
