We use a single instance of Cassandra on Node A that employs a shared file system to keep its data and logs.
Let's say we want to fail-over to Node B, by editing the yaml file by changing Node A to Node B. If we now (mistakenly) bring up Cassandra on Node B whilst the Cassandra on Node A is still running, there would be potential database corruption, no? Is there any guidance on single instance failover? Thanks. Lou.
