I was hoping I could do the following · Change seeds
· Change the topology back to simply · Stop nodes in datacenter 2 · Remove nodes in datacenter 2 · Restart nodes in datacenter 2 Somehow Cassandra holds on to the information about who was in the cluster. What if I also changed the cluster name in the Cassandra.yaml before restarting? Is the data bound to the cluster name?

If using propertyfilesnitch remove the DC2 from all the DC1 property files and vice versa 2b. change the seeds setting in the cassandra.yaml accordingly (DC1 yaml's shouldn't have any seeds from DC2, etc) 3. rolling restart to account for this. 4,. run repair (not even sure how necessary this step is, but after doing RF changes I do this to prevent hiccups) I've done this a couple of times but really failing all of that, the more well supported and harder to mess up but more work approach is: 1. Set DC2 to RF 0 2. remove all nodes from DC2 3. change yamls for seed files (update property file if need be) 4. create new cluster in DC2, 5. use sstableloader to stream DC1 data to DC2.

We would like to keep both of them for a while but we have a need to disconnect them. How can this be done? -- Thanks, Ryan Svihla
