Thank you for the mail. Same here, but I restarted the affected server before I noticed your mail. It affected both OpenJDK Java 6 (packaged with Ubuntu 10.04) and Oracle Java 7 processes. Ubuntu 32 bit servers had no issues, only a 64 bit machine. Likely it is related to the leap second

You have to use PropertyFileSnitch and NetworkTopologyStrategy to create a multi-datacenter setup with two circles. You can start reading from this page: http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/cluster_architecture/replication#about-replica-placement-strategy Moreover all

Rationale behind incrementing all tokens by one in a different datacenter (was: running two rings on the same subnet)

2012-03-05 Thread Hontvári József Levente
I am thinking about the frequent example: dc1 - node1: 0 dc1 - node2: large...number dc2 - node1: 1 dc2 - node2: large...number + 1 In theory using the same tokens in dc2 as in dc1 does not significantly affect key distribution, specifically the two keys on the border will move to the next

Re: Using cassandra at minimal expenditures

2012-03-01 Thread Hontvári József Levente
For Cassandra testing I am using a very old server with a one core Celeron processor and 1GiB RAM, and another one with 4GiB and 4 cores, both with two consumer SATA hard disks. Both works, i.e. there is no out of memory error etc. There are about 10 writes and reads per second, maybe more,

* Does the column name get stored for every col/val for every key (which sort of worries me for long column names) Yes, the column name is stored with each value for every key, but it may not matter if you switch on compression, which AFAIK has only advantages and will be the default. I

hinted handoff 16 s delay

2012-02-23 Thread Hontvári József Levente
I have played with a test cluster, stopping cassandra on one node and updating a row on another. I noticed a delay in delivering hinted handoffs for which I don't know the rationale. After the node which originally received the update noticed that the other server is up, it waited 16 s before

is it possible to read obsolete data after write?

2012-02-20 Thread Hontvári József Levente
I noticed a strange phenomenon with Cassandra, and I would like to know if this is something completely impossible, or not. As you can see in the log extract below, as new versions of a row is written out, the reads returns obsolete data after a while (they read version 78 when 79 and even 80
