Hello to everyone!
Please, can someone explain where we made a mistake?
We have cluster with 4 nodes which uses vnodes(256 per node, default settings),
snitch is default on every node: SimpleSnitch.
These four nodes was from beginning of a cluster.
In this cluster we have keyspace with this options:
Keyspace: K:
Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy
Durable Writes: true
Options: [replication_factor:3]
All was normal and nodetool status K shows that each node owns 75% of all key
range. All 4 nodes are located in same datacenter and have same first two bytes
in IP address(others are different).
Then we buy new server on different datacenter and add it to the cluster with
same settings as in previous four nodes(difference only in listen_address),
assuming that the effective own of each node for this keyspace will be
300/5=60% or near. But after 3-5 minutes after start nodetool status K show
this:
nodetool status K;
Datacenter: datacenter1

N5 is newly added node
nodetool repair -pr on N5 doesn't change anything
nodetool describering K shows that new node N5 participate in EACH range. This
is not we want at all.
It looks like cassandra add new node to each range because it located in
different datacenter, but all settings and output are exactly prevent this.
Also interesting point is that while in all config files snitch is defined as
SimpleSnitch the output of the command nodetool describecluster is:
Cluster Information:
Name: Some Cluster Name
Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch
Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner
Schema versions:
26b8fa37-e666-31ed-aa3b-85be75f2aa1a: [N1, N2, N3, N4, N5]
We use Cassandra 2.0.6
Questions we have at this moment:
1. How to rebalance ring so all nodes will own 60% of range?
1a. Removing node from cluster and adding it again is a solution?
2. Where we possibly make a mistake when adding new node?
3. If we add new 6th node to ring it will take 50% from N5 or some portion from
each node?
Thanks in advance!
