A restart of node1 fixed the problem. The only thing I saw in the log of node1 before the problem was the following: InetAddress /172.27.70.135 is now dead. InetAddress /172.27.70.135 is now UP After this, the nodetool ring command showed node 172.27.70.135 as dead. You mention a stored ring

Hello, when you set 'commitlog_sync: batch' on all the nodes in a multi-DC cluster and call writes with CL=ALL, does the operation wait till the write is flushed to all the disks on all the nodes ? Thanks.

Recommended configuration for good streaming performance?

Hi! We're experimenting with streaming from Hadoop to Cassandra using BulkoutputFormat, on cassandra-1.1 branch. Are there any specific settings we should tune on the Cassandra servers in order to get the best streaming performance? Our Cassandra hardware are 16 core (including HT cores)

I'm new to administering Cassandra so please be kind! I've been tasked with upgrading a .6 cluster to 1.0.7. In doing this I need a rollback plan in case things go sideways since my window for the upgrade is fairly small. So we've decided to stand up a brand new cluster running 1.0.7 and then

You mention a “stored ring view”. Can it be that this stored ring view was out of sync with the actual (gossip) situation? After checking the code, not as much as I thought it did :) Stored ring state is just the map from ip address to token, I thought it has a little more in there. Cheers

It will make your life *a lot* easier by doing a 1 to 1 migration from the 0.6 cluster to the 1.X one. If you want to add nodes do it once you have 1.X happy and stable, if you need to reduce nodes threaten to hold your breath until you pass out. You can then simply: * drain and shapshot

Short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is nope. All column names in a CF are compared using the same comparator. You will need to create a new CF. Cheers. - Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 3/02/2012, at 10:25 AM, Deno

It will have a performance penalty, so it would be better to spread the compactions over a period of time. But Cassandra will still take care of any reads/writes (within the given timeout). 2012/2/3 myreasoner myreaso...@gmail.com If every node in the cluster is running major compaction, would

If every node in the cluster is running major compaction, would it be able to answer any read request?  And is it wise to write anything to a cluster while it's doing major compaction? Compaction is something that is supposed to be continuously running in the background. As noted, it will have
