hi ! As cassandra newbie, I am trying to convert my single node cluster to cluster with two nodes with RF=2.
I have one node cluster , RF=1 all data accessible: nodetool -h 192.168.3.8 ring Address Status State Load Owns Token 192.168.3.8 Up Normal 1.59 GB 100.00% 150705614882854895881815284349323762700 Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy Replication Factor: 1 If I switch to RF=2 here my cluster will refuse updates and reads. So I bootstrap 2nd node (192.168.3.4) : $ nodetool -h 192.168.3.8 ring Address Status State Load Owns Token 150705614882854895881815284349323762700 192.168.3.4 Up Joining 120.94 KB 49.80% 65291865063116528976449321853009633660 192.168.3.8 Up Normal 1.59 GB 50.20% 150705614882854895881815284349323762700 question 1: Why in that point I am unable to read data from part of keys ? Even when node is up: nodetool -h 192.168.3.8 ring Address Status State Load Owns Token 150705614882854895881815284349323762700 192.168.3.4 Up Normal 721.37 MB 49.80% 65291865063116528976449321853009633660 192.168.3.8 Up Normal 1.59 GB 50.20% 150705614882854895881815284349323762700 I am still unable to read part of my original set of data with ConsistencyLevel.ONE (NotFoundException in pycassa) :/ question 2: Why is that ? And what should I do to have cluster with full data ? Next I planned to do: update keyspace with replication_factor=2; repair both nodes, and this point have fully working 2 node cluster with RF=2 question 3: Is this proper approach or there is better one ? question 4: I hoped that during above operations I would be able to _read_ whole dataset as it was at beginning in one node cluster, is it possible ? Thanks in advance for any answers, regards, -- Mateusz Korniak
