Easy way to overload a single node on purpose?

Here's a weird one... what's the best way to get a Cassandra node into a half-crashed state? We have a 3-node cluster running 0.7.5. A few days ago this happened organically to node1 - the partition the commitlog was on was 100% full and there was a No space left on device error, and after a

Is there a way from a running Cassandra node to determine whether or not itself is up?

How to make use of Cassandra raw row keys?

2011-05-24 Thread Suan Aik Yeo
We're using Cassandra to store our sessions, all in a single column family Sessions with the format: Sessions['session_key'] = {'val': actual_value} (session_key is a randomly generated hash) The raw keys I'm talking about are for example the 'key' value as seen from Cassandra DEBUG output:

I have a Cassandra 0.7.0, 3 node cluster with logging set to DEBUG. A few days ago, and I'm not sure what triggered this, the logs started showing messages like DEBUG 17:37:30,399 logged out: #User allow_all groups=[] every second or so, regardless whether there was Cassandra activity. Today I

Building from source from behind firewall since Maven switch?

2011-05-02 Thread Suan-Aik Yeo
Has anybody successfully built-from-source from behind a firewall since 0.7.1 when they switched from using Ivy to Maven? We were able to build from source in 0.7.0 by inserting proxy.host and proxy.port property names in build.xml and exporting -Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort variables
