Basically yes, OPP is not going to work in 1.2 because of the System tables. I don't think you'll find any upgrade instructions anywhere because to be honest, I don't think anyone realized that these new system tables would break OPP because I think everyone had forgotten than OPP was existing (rather, when we talk of OPP, we generally imply ByteOrderedPartitioner). It's been deprecated for a long time. > - I could not find any related discussion or jira records about similar > issue. > I'd suggest opening a JIRA. It's too late to change the fact that OPP is now unsupported I'm afraid, but we should probably make it official by removing it from the code and documenting that it's unsupported. And it'll make a reference if anyone else run into that problem. As for upgrade options, if you are *sure* that all your row keys are actually ascii, I think switching to ByteOrderedPartitioner would actually be okay. Otherwise, note sure there is much other choice that manually migrating all data to a brand new cluster :( -- Sylvain
