Hi All,

I was wondering if there is going to be a C* summit this year? If so, when
can we expect?

Thanks!


Re: Is it safe to upgrade 2.2.6 to 3.0.13?

2017-05-19 Thread Varun Gupta
We upgraded from 2.2.5 to 3.0.11 and it works fine. I will suggest not to go 
with 3.013, we are seeing some issues with schema mismatch due to which we had 
to rollback to 3.0.11.

Thanks,
Varun

Re: Cassandra Server 3.10 unable to Start after crash - commitlog needs to be removed

2017-05-19 Thread Varun Gupta
Yes the bugs need to be fixed, but as a work around on dev environment, you can 
enable cassandra.yaml option to override any corrupted commit log file.

Re: Cassandra Node Density thresholds

2017-05-19 Thread Jonathan Haddad
50% free is unnecessary.  The only reason to keep that much free is if you
wanted to regularly run major compactions, which you shouldn't.

I'd aim for 75%.  Bootstrap new nodes in when you get close to that
number.  Ensure you don't have any sstables larger than your available
space and you'll be just fine.  Run cleanup on all nodes after you finish
bootstrapping new nodes in to reclaim disk space.

You need to share the exact stack trace. In cassandra 3.0+, we became much less 
tolerant of surprises in commitlog state - perhaps a bit too aggressive, 
failing to start in many cases when only minor things were wrong. We've 
recently fixed a handful of these, but they may not be released yet for the 
version you're using.

Re: Cassandra Node Density thresholds

2017-05-19 Thread Nitan Kainth
Asad,

Ideally you should keep 50% free disk space. Yes, right now you have good 
option to scale horizontally or add more disk space if you can. Adding more 
nodes will give you more scalability for reads/writes and disk space will just 
give you more capacity  for current load.

500 nodes, 20tb of ACTIVE DATA per node in hdfs, no brainer, no problem.
But remember the cross DC traffic will get substantial.

Cassandra Node Density thresholds

2017-05-19 Thread ZAIDI, ASAD A
Hello Folks -
I'm using open source apache Cassandra 2.2 .My cluster is spread over 14 nodes 
in cluster in two data centers.

My DC1 data center nodes are reaching 2TB of consumed volume. we don't have 
much space left on disk.
I am wondering if there is guideline available that can point me to certain 
best practice that describe when we should add more nodes to the cluster.  
should we add more storage or add more nodes. I guess we should scale Cassandra 
horizontally so adding node may be better option.. i am looking for a criteria 
that describes node density thresholds, if there are any.
Can you guys please share your thoughts , experience. I'll much appreciate your 
reply. Thanks/Asad




Re: Cassandra Server 3.10 unable to Start after crash - commitlog needs to be removed

I have seen this happen as well. Deleting commit logs helps to Cassandra start 
but of course if you are very unlucky you might lose some data.

Cassandra Server 3.10 unable to Start after crash - commitlog needs to be removed

2017-05-19 Thread Haris Altaf
Hi All,
I am using Cassandra 3.10 for my project and whenever my local windows
system, which is my development environment, crashes then cassandra server
is unable to start. I have to delete commitlog directory after every system
crash. This is actually annoying and what's the purpose of commitlog if it
itself gets crashed. I have uploaded the entire dump of Cassandra Server
(along with logs, commitlogs, data, configs etc) at the link below. Kindly
share its solution. I believe it needs to be fixed.

Hi Xihui,

I was looking for this documentation also, but I believe datastax removed
it, and it is not available yet on the apache website

As far as I remember, intermediate version was needed if  C* Version <
2.1.7.

You should be safe starting from 2.2.6, but testing the upgrade on a
dedicated platform is always a good idea.

Hi All,

We are planning to upgrade our production cluster to 3.x, but I can't find
the upgrade guide anymore.
Can I upgrade to 3.0.13 from 2.2.6 directly? Is a interim version necessary?

Thanks,
