Impact of running major compaction with Size Tiered Compaction - version 1.1.11

2014-01-10 Thread Dwight Smith
Hi We have a 6 node cluster in two DCs, Cassandra version 1.1.11, RF=3 in each DC. The DataStax Documentation says the following: Initiate a major compaction through nodetool compacthttp://www.datastax.co=

Is there a client side method of determining the Cassandra version to which it is connected?

This question is specific to Thrift - but in the process of moving to CQL - so either client will be fine. Thanks
