We have large boxes with 256G of RAM and SSDs. From iostat, top, and sar we think the system has excess capacity. Anyone have recommendations about multihoming<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihoming> cassandra on such a node (connecting it to multiple IPs and running multiple cassandras simultaneously)? I'm skeptical, since Cassandra already has built-in multi-threading and since if the node went down multiple nodes would disappear. We're using C* version 2.0.9.
A google/bing search for multihoming cassandra doesn't turn much up. Donald A. Smith | Senior Software Engineer P: 425.201.3900 x 3866 C: (206) 819-5965 F: (646) 443-2333 dona...@audiencescience.com<mailto:dona...@audiencescience.com> [AudienceScience]
