Hello Alaa, Over time, people who tried seems to have failed to do a live migration from windows to linux (and probably the other way around). It appears to be something unsupported:
http://grokbase.com/t/cassandra/user/13anrd7qv1/mixed-linux-windows-cluster- in-cassandra-1-2 http://grokbase.com/t/cassandra/user/115vy2hy4w/mixing-different-os-in-a- cassandra-cluster Those discussions are a bit old. Yet if this incompatibility still true, you can probably: 1 - Stop the cluster and use sstable loader to load data in the new linux cluster or 2 - Fork writes to the new cluster, run the sstable loader then switch clients, apparently doable without downtime This 2 solutions were discussed there http://grokbase.com/t/ cassandra/user/125rhxydwb/migrating-from-a-windows- cluster-to-a-linux-cluster 3 - Try to run mixed cluster in a testing environment, check the Cassandra code, possibly make a ticket or offer a patch if it does not work. If doing so, add a new data center with linux, not mixed node within the same rack or data center. It's safer and more efficient. Even though in this specific case it might fail.
