I couldn't get the same-host sstableloader to work either. But it's easier to use the JMX bulk-load hook that's built into Cassandra anyway. The following is what I implemented to do this:
import java.io.IOException; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import javax.management.JMX; import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection; import javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException; import javax.management.ObjectName; import javax.management.remote.JMXConnector; import javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory; import javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL; import org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageServiceMBean; public class JmxBulkLoader { private JMXConnector connector; private StorageServiceMBean storageBean; public JmxBulkLoader(String host, int port) throws Exception { connect(host, port); } private void connect(String host, int port) throws IOException, MalformedObjectNameException { JMXServiceURL jmxUrl = new JMXServiceURL(String.format("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://%s:%d/jmxrmi", host, port)); Map<String,Object> env = new HashMap<String,Object>(); connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(jmxUrl, env); MBeanServerConnection mbeanServerConn = connector.getMBeanServerConnection(); ObjectName name = new ObjectName("org.apache.cassandra.db:type=StorageService"); storageBean = JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbeanServerConn, name, StorageServiceMBean.class); } public void close() throws IOException { connector.close(); } public void bulkLoad(String path) { storageBean.bulkLoad(path); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { if (args.length == 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("usage: paths to bulk files"); } JmxBulkLoader np = new JmxBulkLoader("localhost", 7199); for (String arg : args) { np.bulkLoad(arg); } np.close(); } } On Jul 9, 2012, at 5:16 AM, Pushpalanka Jayawardhana wrote: > Hi all, > > I am facing the same problem when trying to load Cassandra using > sstableloader.
