Hello all Some update about the issue.
After wiping completely all sstable/commitlog/saved_caches folder and restart the cluster from scratch, we still experience weird figures. After the restart, nodetool status does not show an exact balance of 50% of data for each node : Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving -- Address Load Tokens Owns (effective) Host ID Rack UN host1 48.57 KB 256 *51.6%* d00de0d1-836f-4658-af64-3a12c00f47d6 rack1 UN host2 48.57 KB 256 *48.4%* e9d2505b-7ba7-414c-8b17-af3bbe79ed9c rack1 As you can see, the % is very close to 50% but not exactly 50% What can explain that ? Can it be network connection issue during token initial shuffle phase ? P.S: both host1 and host2 are supposed to have exactly the same hardware Regards Duy Hai DOAN On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 11:20 PM, Batranut Bogdan <batra...@yahoo.com>wrote: > I don't know about hector but the datastax java driver needs just one ip > from the cluster and it will discover the rest of the nodes.
