And I apologize for reading Colin's initial response too quickly which lets me know that I was probably using the wrong token generator for the wrong partition type. That of course was the case. So what I've done is use this token generator form the datastax website: python -c 'print [str(((2**64 / number_of_tokens) * i) - 2**63) for i in range(number_of_tokens)] That algorithm generated a token I could use to start Cassandra on my second node. However at this stage I have both nodes running and I believe their gossiping if I understand what I see here correctly: INFO 02:44:13,823 No gossip backlog; proceeding However I've setup web pages for each of the two web servers that are running Cassandra. And it looks like the seed node with all the data is rendering correctly. But the node that's downstream from the seed node is not receiving any of its data despite the message that I've just shown you. And if I go to the seed node and do a describe keyspaces I see the keyspace that drives the website listed. It's called 'joke_fire1' cqlsh> describe keyspaces; system joke_fire1 system_traces And if I go to the node that's downstream from the seed node and run the same command: cqlsh> describe keyspaces; system system_traces I don't see the important keyspace that runs the site. I have the seed node's IP listed in 'seeds' in the cassandra.yaml on the downstream node. So I'm not really sure why its' not receiving the seed's data. If there's some command I need to run to flush the system or something like that. And if I do a nodetool ring command on the first (seed) host I don't see the IP of the downstream node listed: [root@beta-new:~] #nodetool ring | head -10 Note: Ownership information does not include topology; for complete information, specify a keyspace Datacenter: datacenter1 ========== Address Rack Status State Load Owns Token 10.10.1.94 rack1 Up Normal 150.64 KB 100.00% -9173731940639284976 10.10.1.94 rack1 Up Normal 150.64 KB 100.00% -9070607847117718988 10.10.1.94 rack1 k Up Normal 150.64 KB 100.00% -9060190512633067546 10.10.1.94 rack1 Up Normal 150.64 KB 100.00% -8935690644016753923 And if I look on the downstream node and run nodetool ring I see only the IP of the downstream node and not the seed listed: [root@beta:/var/lib/cassandra] #nodetool ring | head -15 Datacenter: datacenter1 ========== Address Rack Status State Load Owns Token 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -9223372036854775808 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -9151314442816847873 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -9079256848778919937 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -9007199254740992001 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8935141660703064065 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8863084066665136129 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8791026472627208193 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8718968878589280257 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8646911284551352321 10.10.1.98 rack1 Up Normal 91.06 KB 99.99% -8574853690513424385 Yet in my seeds entry in cassandra.yaml I have the correct IP of my seed node listed: seed_provider: - class_name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider # seeds is actually a comma-delimited list of addresses. - seeds: "10.10.1.94" So I'm just wondering what I'm missing in trying to get these two nodes to communicate via gossip at this point.
