3 node cluster is in production. It’d difficult for me to get sign off on the change control to upgrade it. The 6 node cluster is already stood up (in aws). In an ideal scenario I’d just be able to bring the data over to the new cluster.

Can sstableloader be used to stream from the existing cluster to the new cluster? If so, what that the suggested method? I keep getting the following when trying this: http://palominodb.com/blog/2012/09/25/bulk-loading-options-cassandra One of the caveats mentioned there is that sstableloader often does not work between major versions. If I were you, I would accomplish this task by dividing it in two : 1) Upgrade my 3 node cluster from 1.1.9 to 1.2.18 via rolling restart/upgradesstables. 2) Expand 3 node cluster to 6 nodes Is there a reason you are not using this process? =Rob If you received this message and have reason to believe the sender did not intend to direct it to you, please notify the sender immediately by e-mail and delete the message from your system.
