Stefan Podkowinski commented on CASSANDRA-13171: ------------------------------------------------ There's a option for preventing gossip during startup as described in CASSANDRA-10809. > Setting -Dcassandra.join_ring=false is ambiguous > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-13171 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13171 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Joe Olson > Attachments: log.txt > > > Setting -Dcassandra.join_ring=false in /etc/cassandra/jvm.options has > questionable results. From the log snippet below, the value is set to false, > and read. However, everything seems to happen as if it weren't....gossip > occurs, and streaming data via a bulk load comes in. > (see attached log) > I really need this node not to join the cluster, because it is behind on its > compaction, and will immediately crash (too many files open - OS ulimit is > already set to 300000 temporarily). I know of no other way to do an "offline > compaction" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
