EC2 Snitch load imbalance

I have a setup with 6 cassandra nodes (1.2.18), using RandomPartition, not using vnodes -- this is a legacy cluster. We went from 3 nodes to 6 in the last few days to add capacity. However, there appears to be an imbalance: Datacenter: us-east == Replicas: 2 Address Rack

Load balancing in C* Cluster

2014-10-28 Thread Syed, Basit B. (NSN - FI/Espoo)
Hi, I am learning C* and its usage these days. I have a very simple, possibly naive question about load balancing. I know that C* can automatically balance the load itself by using tokens. But what about connecting my cluster to a system. For exp, if we have a client or a set of clients (e.g.

Hello, Most drivers will handle the load balancing for you and provide policies for configuring your desired approach for load balancing, i.e. load balance around the entire ring or localize around a specific DC. Your clients will leverage the driver for connections so that the client machines

Hey all, I'd like to setup datastax opscenter to monitor my cassandra ring. However I'm using the open source version of 2.1.1. And before I expend any time and effort in setting this up, I'm wondering if it will work with the open source version? Or would I need to be running datastax cassandra
