on the storage requirements. Aaron, is there a way to configure wimpy nodes such that the replicas are elsewhere? -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/cassandra-nodes-with-mixed-hard-disk-sizes-tp6194071p6195543.html Sent from

My assumption is from not seeing anything in the code to explicitly support nodes of different specs (also think I saw it somewhere ages ago). AFAIK the dynamic snitch is there to detect nodes with a temporarily reduced throughput and try to reduce the read load on them. I may be wrong on

cassandra nodes with mixed hard disk sizes

2011-03-21 Thread Jonathan Colby
This is a two part question ... 1. If you have cassandra nodes with different sized hard disks, how do you deal with assigning the token ring such that the nodes with larger disks get more data? In other words, given equally distributed token ranges, when the smaller disk nodes run out of

1) You should use nodes with the same capacity (CPU, RAM, HDD), cassandra assumes they are all equal. 2) Not sure what exactly would happen. Am guessing either the node would shutdown or writes would eventually block, probably the former. If the node was up read performance may suffer (if
