Question about nodetool status ... output

2015-06-12 Thread Jens Rantil
Hi, I have one node in my 5-node cluster that effectively owns 100% and it looks like my cluster is rather imbalanced. Is it common to have it this imbalanced for 4-5 nodes? My current output for a keyspace is: $ nodetool status myks Datacenter: Cassandra = Status=Up/Down |/

Your data model also contributes to the balance (or lack of) of the cluster. If you have a really bad data partitioning Cassandra will not do any magic. Regarding that cluster, I would decommission the x.52 node and add it again with the correct configuration. After the bootstrap, run a cleanup.

Hi Carlos, Yes, I should have been more specific about that; basically all my primary ID:s are random UUIDs so I find that very hard to believe that my data model should be the problem here. I will run a full repair of the cluster, execute a cleanup and recommission the node, then. Thanks, Jens
