Java 8

2015-05-07 Thread Stefan Podkowinski
Hi Are there any plans to support Java 8 for Cassandra 2.0, now that Java 7 is EOL? Currently Java 7 is also recommended for 2.1. Are there any reasons not to recommend Java 8 for 2.1? Thanks, Stefan

We are also extending our backwards compatibility policy to cover all 3.x releases: you will be able to upgrade seamlessly from 3.1 to 3.7, for instance, including cross-version repair. What will be the EOL policy for releases after 3.0? Given your example, will 3.1 still see bugfixes at

Hi Hannu It should be as simple as copying the archived commit logs to the recovery directory, specifying the point in time you like to restore from the logs by using the 'restore_point_in_time' setting and afterwards starting the node. On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 7:45 PM, Hannu Kröger

If someone would create a benchmark showing that Cassandra is 10x faster than Aerospike, would that mean Cassandra is 100x faster than ScyllaDB? Joking aside, I personally don't pay a lot of attention to any published benchmarks and look at them as pure marketing material. What I'm interested in

Re: Upgrade to 3.11.1 give SSLv2Hello is disabled error

2018-01-17 Thread Stefan Podkowinski
I think what this error indicates is that a client is trying to connect using a SSLv2Hello handshake, while this protocol has been disabled on the server side. Starting with the mentioned ticket, we use the JVM default list of enabled protocols. What makes this issue a bit confusing, is that

I'd not recommend using any consistency level but serial for reading tables updated by LWT operations. Otherwise you might end up reading inconsistent results. On 09.02.18 08:06, Mahdi Ben Hamida wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm running a 2.0.17 cluster (I know, I know, need to upgrade) with 46 > nodes

Deleting data "without undue delay" in Cassandra can be implemented by using crypto shredding and pseudonymization strategies in your data model. All you have to do is to make sure that throwing away a person's data encryption key will make it impossible to restore personal data and impossible to
