Oleksandr Shulgin commented on CASSANDRA-5836: ---------------------------------------------- [~KurtG], {quote}My patch above should only make the very first node in a cluster a special case{quote} I would pretty much like to avoid any special cases, if possible. Exactly because you have to make the corner case detection bullet-proof, which is arguably hard to achieve in distributed / eventual consistency setup. {quote}I don't think it's acceptable to say you have to change these to NTS prior to adding a new DC.{quote} But it is a matter of fact currently: {{nodetool rebuild}} refuses to start the rebuild unless all non-local keyspaces are using the NTS, with a message similar to the one posted here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11098?focusedCommentId=15422197&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-15422197 Do you see an alternative way to bootstrap new DC w/o using NTS? A cross-DC repair could work still, but it's too resource extensive for any significant amount of data, I think. {quote}Using nodetool rebuild when you've used SimpleStrategy will end up with data loss/won't work.{quote} Won't work, as shown above. > Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-5836 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5836 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Bill Hathaway > Priority: Minor > > The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped. If a user > wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed > node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the > seed list, and then start the bootstrap process. This seems like an > unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed. > I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a > seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed > nodes up in a ring. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
