Hi all,
Please, i try to undestand how gossip protocol is used in cassandra. I read this: “This is most critical the first time a node starts up. By default, a node remembers other nodes it has gossiped with between subsequent restarts. *The seed node designation has no purpose other than bootstrapping the gossip process* for new nodes joining the cluster. Seed nodes are not a single point of failure, nor do they have any other special purpose in cluster operations beyond the bootstrapping of nodes. “ I understand that the seed node starst gossip protocol and then, the new nodes join the seed node i.e send their state informations to the seed node Then, the seed node broadcast received informations to all nodes on the ring ? That’s it ? Thank you so much for all explanations. Best Reagrds.
