Hi All, I was wondering if anyone on the list could make some recommendations as to how you are currently backing up and restoring your ring in an automated manner. We are deploying Cassandra 2.0 with Chef and as part of our release process, we test our application in a full staging environment before going to production. From what I understand about the snapshot/restore process, this requires that we restore X number of individual node snapshots to X number of nodes in a separate staging-ring. I would like to handle this either in-house or with open source software instead of going down the Datastax route. Can anyone suggest some methods of accomplishing this goal in a straight-forward way? Thanks!
Best regards, -David Laube
