T Jake Luciani updated CASSANDRA-1938: -------------------------------------- Attachment: 1938-rebase-and-fix-v1.txt Rebased with trunk... During my testing I discovered a NPE when converting from thrift -> avro migration that's fixed. I need to do more testing but looks good so far. > Use UUID as node identifiers in counters instead of IP addresses > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1938 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1938 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: 0001-Use-uuid-instead-of-IP-for-counters.patch, > 0002-Merge-old-shard-locally.patch, 0003-Thrift-change-to-CfDef.patch, > 1938-rebase-and-fix-v1.txt, 1938_discussion > > Original Estimate: 56h > Remaining Estimate: 56h > > The use of IP addresses as node identifiers in the partition of a given > counter is fragile. Changes of the node's IP addresses can result in data > loss. This patch proposes to use UUIDs instead. > NOTE: this breaks the on-disk file format (for counters) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
