Well, we ran StorageService.bulkLoad via JMX. According to http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/bulk-loading this should have the same effect and can be done on the same machine:
"Because the sstableloader uses gossip to communicate with other nodes, if launched on the same machine that a given Cassandra node, it will need to use a different network interface than the Cassandra node. But if you want to load data from a Cassandra node, there is a simpler solution: you can use the JMX->StorageService->bulkload() call from said node." -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rahul Neelakantan [mailto:ra...@rahul.be] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 31.
