Jonathan Ellis updated CASSANDRA-44:
------------------------------------
Description:
ColumnFamilies may be added when cassandr is not running by editing the
configuration file. When doing this they should ONLY BE ADDED AT THE END OF
THE LIST OF EXISTING FAMILIES.
If you need to delete or re-order CFs, you must
1) kill cassandra
2) start it again and wait for log replay to finish
3) kill cassandra AGAIN
4) make your edits (now there is no data in the commitlog)
5) manually remove the sstable files (-Data.db, -Index.db, and -Filter.db) for
the CFs you removed, and rename files for CFs you renamed
6) start cassandra and your edits should take effect
was:Once a cluster is created, adding new column families to the
configuration file will not result in their creation. See also:
http://groups.google.com/group/cassandra-dev/browse_thread/thread/78598f808e10b984/fe26cae1689d5474
Summary: It is difficult to modify the set of ColumnFamliies in an
existing cluster (was: It isn't possible to easily add new column families to
an existing cluster)
