I'm not trying to migrate AND upgrade at the same time. However, the apt
repo shows only 2.1.20 as the available version.
This is the output from the new node in AWS
ubuntu@ip-10-0-43-213:~$ apt-cache policy cassandra
cassandra:
Installed: 2.1.20
Candidate: 2.1.20
Version table:
*** 2.1.20 500
500 http://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/debian 21x/main amd64
Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Regarding open ports, I can cqlsh into the GCE node(s) from the AWS node
into GCE nodes.
As I mentioned earlier, I've opened the ports 9042, 7000, 7001 in GCE
firewall for the public IP of the AWS instance.
I mentioned earlier - there are some differences in the column types - for
example, date (>= 2.2) vs. timestamp (2.1.x)
The application has not been updated yet.
Hence sticking to 2.1.x for now.
And, so far, 2.1.x has been serving the purpose.
