Re: upgrade from 3.9 to 3.11.2

[Hannu Kröger]

Hi,

It depends on your replication factor and consistency levels used.

If you are not using consistency level of ALL in your applications and your 
replication factor is 3, then you usually don’t need to stop your frontend 
applications for the upgrade.

If replication factor = 2 then you need to run consistency level of one (or 
local_one or any) in your applications. You cannot use quorum or all, or your 
queries start failing.

If replication factor = 1, your queries start failing when you upgrade one node.

Hello,

it never hurts to run “nodetool upgradesstables" after the upgrade. It’s a 
no-op if there is nothing to upgrade.
