Re: Starting cassandra with -D option

2012-06-24 Thread aaron morton
  Idea is to avoid having the copies of cassandra code in each node,
If you run cassandra from the NAS you are adding a single point of failure into 
the system. 

Better to use some form of deployment automation and install all the 
requirement components onto each node.

Re: Starting cassandra with -D option

2012-06-24 Thread Greg Fausak
I did something similar for my installation, but I used ENV variables:
I created a directory on a machine (call this the master) with directories
for all of the distributions (call them slaves).  So, consider:

/master/slave1
/master/slave2
...
/master/slaven

then i rdist this to all of my slaves.

In the /master directory all of the standard cassandra distribution.

In the /master/slave* directory all of the machine dependent stuff.

Also in /master I have a .profile with:

-bash-4.1$ cat /master/.profile
#
export CASSANDRA_HOME=$HOME/run
SHOST=`hostname | sed s'/\..*//'`
export CASSANDRA_CONF=$CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/$SHOST
export CASSANDRA_INCLUDE=$CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/$SHOST/cassandra.in.sh
. $CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/cassandra-env.sh
PATH=$HOME/run/bin:$PATH
echo 'to start cassandra type cassandra'


this leaves me with this environment on each slave (slave1 example):
-bash-4.1$ env | grep CAS
CASSANDRA_HOME=/usr/share/cassandra/run
CASSANDRA_CONF=/usr/share/cassandra/run/conf/slave1
CASSANDRA_INCLUDE=/usr/share/cassandra/run/conf/slave1/cassandra.in.sh

Using this technique I maintain my Cassandra cluster on 1 machine and
rdist to the
participants.Rdist makes each node independent.
