Hi Experts, My plan is to upgrade the C* nodes' OS from Centos6 to Centos7. Since an upgrade wasn't recommended I needed to install new machines with Centos7 and join them to the cluster. I didn't want to decommission/bootstrap dozens of nodes, so I decided to do the following:
- Create a new machine - Copy all data, schema data and commit logs using rsync from the old node to the new one - Stop Cassandra on the old node, copy the delta and shut the node down - Change the hostname and IP address of the new node to the hostname and IP of the old node. - Start Cassandra on the new node. My thought was that the "new" node will join the cluster as the "old" node since it has all of its data and metadata, however, after Cassandra started up, it saw all its peers in DN state. The same goes for the other nodes, that saw the new node is DN state. I didn't find any errors or warnings in the logs, but I did see that the *schema version* on the new node was different from the others( I'm assuming that's the issue here?) *Functioning node* nodetool describecluster Cluster Information: Name: MyCluster Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner Schema versions: 503bf151-c59c-35a0-8350-ca73e82098f5: [x.x.x.32, x.x.x.126, x.x.x.35, x.x.x.1, x.x.x.28, x.x.x.15, x.x.x.252, x.x.x.253, x.x.x.31] UNREACHABLE: [x.x.x.2] *New node* nodetool describecluster Cluster Information: Name: MyCluster Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.DynamicEndpointSnitch Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.Murmur3Partitioner Schema versions: dab67163-65d4-3895-82e6-ffc07bf5c17a: [x.x.x.2] UNREACHABLE: [x.x.x.31, x.x.x.1, x.x.x.28, x.x.x.252, x.x.x.253, x.x.x.15, x.x.x.126, x.x.x.35, x.x.x.32] I'd really REALLY appreciate some guidance. Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to fix this? Thanks a lot!
