Only the last added node is visible in the cluster

2012-02-25 Thread Aditya Gupta
While creating a multinode cluster, my nodes are unable to identify all the
nodes in the cluster.
Only the *last added'  node is visible when I do:
 ./nodetool -h localhost ring


I am trying to create a 4 nodes cluster. On starting the seed node, the
above command shows just itself(ok.. good), then when I start the 2nd node
the first one disappears  there is only 2nd visible in the ring. On
starting 3rd one, just the 3rd one remains.

In cassandra.yaml of each node, I configured the listen_adress equal to ip
address of that node  for seeds I just put the ip address of 1st node
everywhere.

Can anyone point to me what may be causing this ?

My guess would be you're using the same token everywhere.

Then my next guess is you cloned one system to make the others in a
virtual env, and the token is recorded in the system keyspace.  In any
case, some nodetool ring output at each node addition will clarify
this.

 Nope, I just re-verified :)
 I have split up the range into 4 parts for 4 nodes. I have specified that in
 the intial_token

yes, exactly I did cloned a single  VMware  machine to make other
instances.. so how do I correct this now ?

The output of nodetool ring after each addition of nodes, make just the
last added node visible in the ring.
When I retry to add the node(which are not visible) it says that it is
already a part of the ring.

Could you indicate how should I rectify this now, as you seem to have
figured out the issue ?

The simplest thing to do is rm -rf /var/lib/cassandra on all the nodes.

Thanks removing the system keyspace worked! Thanks!
