Re: Authentication

Are there any plans or talks of adding SSL/encryption support between Cassandra nodes? This would make setting up secure cross-country Cassandra clusters much easier, without having to setup a secure overlay network. MySQL supports this in it's replication. -Ben On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 11:23

useful w/o having encryption for Thrift as well (in case a client has to fail over to the cross-country Cassandra nodes). So using a secure VPN makes the most sense to me. On Tue, Jul 13, 2010 at 12:02 PM, Ben Standefer b...@simplegeo.com wrote: Are there any plans or talks of adding SSL

Joe, (Disclaimer: I work here) Check out http://www.simplegeo.com, we're building a horizontally scalable spatial database on top of Cassandra along with geographic analytics, data provisioning, and hosting services. Using us might be easier than hacking around in the weeds with MongoDB. Sorry

Re: Running Cassandra as a Windows Service

2010-06-10 Thread Ben Standefer
For various reasons I am required to deploy systems on Windows. I don't think it would be difficult to argue the business case for running Cassandra on Linux. It's still a young project and everybody in IRC and the mailing list is running it on Linux. You should really re-think whatever factors

Re: Data loss and corruption

2010-06-09 Thread Ben Standefer
In my opinion the #1 risk for corruption is user/client error with the timestamps. Over time, Cassandra flushes data from memory to disks. After it flushes to disk, Cassandra doesn't go back to delete or modify that data. Because of this, deletes are performed by writing a tombstone to disk.
