Thanks for the reply Robert! Actually increasing the property "streaming_socket_timeout_in_ms" fixed the problem. :)
It seems 60 seconds is a too low value for this property for inter-region streaming of very large files. I increased it to 600 seconds, but a lower value should be enough. 2013/9/9 Robert Coli <rc...@eventbrite.com> > On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 12:28 PM, Paulo Motta <pauloricard...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> I've been trying to add a new data center to our Cassandra 1.1.10 cluster >> for the last few days, but I've been unable to successfully rebuild the >> nodes on the new DC due to streaming problems. >> > > There are some upstream streaming fixes in 1.2.
