hi, our mix-mode is not by choice, but nevertheless it worked very well for a few months until recent fail. we have resolved the issue by deleting the var directory from the windows machine, thus removing all the data that was on the node. this was done due to time constraints and a solution like this won't be considered if this should happen again. also, after a short investigation, the cause of the fault might have been hardware malfunction during some cassandra operation. ________________________________________ From: Michael Shuler <mshu...@pbandjelly.org> on behalf of Michael Shuler <mich...@pbandjelly.org> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2014 8:06 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: cassandra boot is stuck in hint compaction.

I'm not sure if your mixed-OS cluster is by choice, or if you are simply testing out the feasibility of running mixed-OS clusters. It may be interesting to continue to see where you get with trying to work through your problem, and if some improvements could be made to fix whatever problem you are having, please open a jira ticket with your discoveries. As Paulo mentioned, you'll need to dig through log details and do some thorough investigation to help others help you, since you are in untested waters. :) -- Kind regards, Michael
