As I've checked in the docs, seems like a simple change, from AllowAllAuthorizer to CassandraAuthorizer in cassandra.yaml. However, I'm a litte concerned about the performance of the cluster while I'm restarting all the nodes. Is it possible to have any downtime (access errors, maybe), as all the data was created with AllowAllAuthorizer? -- Felipe Esteves Tecnologia felipe.este...@b2wdigital.com<mailto:seu.em...@b2wdigital.com> Tel.: (21) 3504-7162 ramal 57162 ________________________________ The information in this Internet Email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
