tablesnap / tableslurp usage pointers?

2015-09-04 Thread Maciek Sakrejda
Hi, I'm trying to use tablesnap [1] for disaster recovery backups, and while my uploads seem to be working fine, I can't figure out how to run the associated tableslurp tool for restores. If I pass the full S3 path to the individual table to tableslurp, it will restore that table, but if I try to

Replacing dead node and cassandra.replace_address

2015-09-08 Thread Maciek Sakrejda
According to the docs [1], when replacing a Cassandra node, I should start the replacement with cassandra.replace_address specified. Does that just become part of the replacement node's startup configuration? Can I (or do I have to) stop specifying it at some point? Does this affect subsequent node

Following up on this older question: as per the docs, one *should* still do full repair periodically (the docs say weekly), right? And run incremental more often to fill in?

UnknownColumnFamily exception / schema inconsistencies

Hello, I've been having some strange issues with one of our test clusters (4-day-old, 3-node, 2.1.10 cluster on AWS). I saw a number of messages like the following: [] 10 Nov 20:21:00.406 * pri=WARN t=MessagingService-Incoming-/ 192.168.168.202 at=IncomingTcpConnection.run UnknownColumnFamil

Oh and for what it's worth, I've also looked through the logs for this node, and the oldest error in the logs seems to be: [] 06 Nov 22:10:53.260 * pri=ERROR t=Thrift:16 at=CustomTThreadPoolServer.run Error occurred during processing of message. java.lang.RuntimeException: java.util.concurrent

Any advice on how to proceed here? Sebastian seems to have guessed correctly at the underlying issue, but I'm still not sure how to resolve this given what I see in the data directory and the catalogs. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 12:15 PM, Maciek Sakrejda wrote: > On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at

Anuj, do you have a link to the versioning policy? The tick-tock versioning blog post [1] says that EOL happens after two major versions come out, but I can't find this stated more formally anywhere. I'm interested in how long a given version will receive patches for security issues or critical dat
