Thanks Jason, No errors in the log. Also the nodes do have a consistent schema for the keyspace (although this was a problem during the upgrade that we resolved using the procedure specified here: https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#schema_disagreement). -Mike From: Jason Wee <peich...@gmail.com> To: user@cassandra.apache.org; Michael Theroux <mthero...@yahoo.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 12:07 AM Subject: Re: Nodetool ring and "Replicas" after 1.2 upgrade maybe check the system.log to see if there is any exception and/or error? check as well if they are having consistent schema for the keyspace? hth jason

Everything appears to be up and running normally, however, we have noticed unusual output from nodetool ring. There is a new (to us) field "Replicas" in the nodetool output, and this field, seemingly at random, is changing from 2 to 3 and back to 2. We are using the byte ordered partitioner (we hash our own keys), and have a replication factor of 3. We are also on AWS and utilize the Ec2snitch on a single Datacenter. Other calls appear to be normal. "nodetool getEndpoints" returns the proper endpoints when querying various keys, nodetool ring and status return that all nodes appear healthy. Anyone have any hints on what maybe happening, or if this is a problem we should be concerned with? Thanks,-Mike
