Query on Seed node

2014-02-03 Thread Aravindan T
 Hi ,

I  have a  4 node cassandra cluster with one node marked as seed node.  When i 
checked the data directory of seed node , it has two folders  
/keyspace/columnfamily.
But sstable db files are not available.the folder is empty.The db files are 
available in remaining nodes.

I want to know the reason why db files are not created in seed node ?
what will happen if all the nodes in a cluster is marked as seed node ??

I'm guessing its just a coincident.. As far as I know, seeds have nothing
to do with where the data should be located.
I think there could be couple of reasons why you wouldn't see SSTables on a
specific column family folder, these are some of them:
- You're using a few distinct keys which non of them should be on that seed
node.
- Node hasn't flushed yet.. You can use nodetool flush to try and flush
memtables manually.
- You're using manual token assignment and you didn't not assign them well.
