Hi Lou,


do you mean you set  rpc_address (or broadcast_rpc_address) to Node_B_IP on 
second machine?

Well, so SSTables are immutable, it can lead to unpredictable behavior, I 
guess. I don't believe anybody tested such setup before.

I never saw one, the main Casandra idea that you build multinode cluster.



Any specific reason why can't you use two nodes as single cluster?

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.
