Hi Mehdi, In addition, give some thought to your cluster topology. For maximum fault tolerance and availability I would recommend using at least three nodes with a replication factor of three. Ideally, you should also use Cassandra logical racks. This will reduce the risk of outage and make

Should be fine if one node can deal with your read and write load. Switching from SimpleStrategy to RackAware can be a pain. That¹s a potential growth point way down the line (if you ever have your nodes on different switches). You might want to just setup your keyspace as RackAware if you intend

Even more: if you enable read repair the chances of having bad writes decreases for any further reads. This will make your cluster become faster consistent again after some failure. Under 1.0 the default RR probability was reduced to 10%. Because Hinted Handoff was changed to also store

Re: Single Node Cassandra Installation

2012-03-17 Thread R. Verlangen
By default Cassandra tries to write to both nodes, always. Writes will only fail (on a node) if it is down, and even then hinted handoff will attempt to keep both nodes in sync when the troubled node comes back up. The point of having two nodes is to have read and write availability in the face

Re: Single Node Cassandra Installation

2012-03-16 Thread Thomas van Neerijnen
You'll need to either read or write at at least quorum to get consistent data from the cluster so you may as well do both. Now that you mention it, I was wrong about downtime, with a two node cluster reads or writes at quorum will mean both nodes need to be online. Perhaps you could have an

Re: Single Node Cassandra Installation

2012-03-16 Thread Ben Coverston
Doing reads and writes at CL=1 with RF=2 N=2 does not imply that the reads will be inconsistent. It's more complicated than the simple counting of blocked replicas. It is easy to support the notion that it will be largely consistent, in fact very consistent for most use cases. By default

Hi Drew, One other disadvantage is the lack of consistency level and replication. Both ware part of the high availability / redundancy. So you would really need to backup your single-node-cluster to some other external location. Good luck! 2012/3/15 Drew Kutcharian d...@venarc.com Hi, We
