Hello everyone, I was using astyanax connection pool defined as this:
ipSeeds = "LOAD_BALANCER_HOST:9160"; conPool.setSeeds(ipSeeds) .setDiscoveryType(NodeDiscoveryType.TOKEN_AWARE) .setConnectionPoolType(ConnectionPoolType.TOKEN_AWARE); However, my cluster have 4 nodes and I have 8 client machines connecting on it. LOAD_BALANCER_HOST forwards requests to one of my four nodes. On a client node, I have: $netstat -an | grep 9160 | awk '{print $5}' | sort |uniq -c 235 node1:9160 680 node2:9160 4 node3:9160 4 node4:9160 So although the ConnectionPoolType is TOKEN_AWARE, my client seems to be connecting mainly to node2, sometimes to node1, but almost never to nodes 3 and 4. Question is: Why is this happening? Shouldn't a token aware connection pool query the ring for the node list and connect to all the active nodes using round robin algorithm? Best regards, Marcelo Valle.
