Is there any reason you would like to take snapshot of column family on each node when cluster consists of 3 nodes with keyspace on replication factor =3?
I am thinking of taking snapshot of CF on only one node. For restore, I will follow below 1. drop and recreate the CF on node1 2. copy snapshotted files to node 1 data directory of CF 3. perform nodetool refresh on node 1 Any suggestions/advise? ng
