Re: Basic Copy vs Snapshot for backup

The snapshot gives you a complete set of your sstables at a point in time. If you were copying sstables directly from a live node you would have to deal with files coming and going due to compactions. Cheers Ben On Thu, 10 May 2018 at 16:45 wrote: > Dear Community, > > > > Is there any benefit

Running multiple instances of Cassandra on each node in the cluster

2018-05-10 Thread Vishal1.Sharma
Dear community, Is it possible to have a cluster in Cassandra where each of the server is running multiple instances of Cassandra(each instance is part of the same cluster). I'm aware that if there's a single server in the cluster, then it's possible to run multiple instances of Cassandra on

It works fine, and there can be meaningful performance benefits if you have a sufficiently large machine where either you have so much RAM or so much disk that a single instance would likely underutilize those resources. You can configure it by adding multiple IPs to the servers, and running one in

If you backup the current state of the sstables at the time you upload the new sstables, you can keep a running point-in-time view without an explicit snapshot. This is similar to what tablesnap does ( https://github.com/JeremyGrosser/tablesnap ) On Thu, May 10, 2018 at 12:30 PM, Ben Slater wrote

There may be some unstated environmental dependencies at issue here. If you run the dtests on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS environment with the configuration described in the dtest README.md, then when you run cqlsh by calling the a ccm Node object's run_cqlsh() function, it will run cqlsh with Python 2.7.

Re: Cassandra HEAP Suggestion.. Need a help

There's no single right answer. It depends a lot on the read/write patterns and other settings (onheap memtable, offheap memtable, etc). One thing that's probably always true, if you're using ParNew/CMS, 16G heap is a bit large, but may be appropriate for some read heavy workloads, but you'd want
