Dean Hiller commented on CASSANDRA-5335:


We went to org.apache.cassandra.db - ColumnFamilies - {our keyspace}- {our 
CF} - Attributes - CompactionStrategyClass and then changed SizeTiered to 
Leveled or rather the whole string was 
org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy.  We hit 
enter...nothing happened.  We ran a nodetool compact databus5 nreldata and 
the files are the same.  unfortunately we are in QA with little data and wanted 
to set the default size=1 but could not find that in JMX.  We can't tell if it 
is working or not.

 Key: CASSANDRA-5335
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5335
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.2
 Environment: linux, cassandra 1.2.2
Reporter: Dean Hiller
  Labels: compaction

 when we switched to LCS, nearly all the servers started rewriting their file 
 structure.  We need a way to switch just one node so we can slowly roll out a 
 huge change like this.  doing the whole cluster brought it to it's needs and 
 we tried nodetool stop compaction on some nodes but that did not help at all. 
  We had to really wait overnight for all LCS to finish. 
 We had also tried nodetool setcompactionthroughput 1 which also had no effect 
 and performance was still pretty bad.  Ideally, none of this would be a 
 problem if we were just doing one node as we would just pull the node back 
 out while it was converting to LCS.

[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-5333) dynamic snitch only worked for NetworkTopology due to RemoteNode

2013-03-11 Thread Dean Hiller (JIRA)

 Summary: dynamic snitch only worked for NetworkTopology due to 
RemoteNode
 Key: CASSANDRA-5333
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5333
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.2.2
 Environment: redhat linux.  we dug into the code though and it appears 
to be the way it is coded.  we were told to file a ticket for this on the email 
list.
Reporter: Dean Hiller


We dug into cassandra code and found out SimpleSnitch was not working with 
DynamicSnitch.  Specifically, the code turns a slow node into a remote node and 
network topology works with that.  We also had to move to LOCAL_QUOROM and 
finally we have dynamic snitch working.  To test this, we basically told the 
NIC using the tc command to slow every packet down by 500ms on node 2 (out of 
4 nodes).  We finally have a blazingly fast client with node 2 slowed down.  If 
we do QUOROM, the issue comes back and the client is slow again.  Same with 
SimpleSnitch.  To reproduce, run a 4 node cluster and use tc to give every 
packet a slowdown of 500ms.

[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-4580) nodetool can't work from remote node if firewalls are up and only port 7199 is open :(

 Summary: nodetool can't work from remote node if firewalls are up 
and only port 7199 is open :(
 Key: CASSANDRA-4580
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4580
 Project: Cassandra
  Issue Type: Improvement
  Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 1.1.4
 Environment: Environment with medium security in which firewalls open 
specific ports(ie. mostly all production environments from small companies to 
large).
Reporter: Dean Hiller
Priority: Minor


nodetool uses port 7199 to start with but then JMX opens dynamic ports which 
can't get through the firewalls.  People on the web keep pointing to this 
ticket which is closed

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2967

There are definitely a large amount of users wanting this but the ticket 
appears close and I don't see the replacement ticket(but just close this if you 
know what it is).  This feature is especially needed by operations teams to run 
the nodetool from their control node.

I am not sure what you mean by gives me the options???  The ticket was closed 
and it only seems very related anyways which is why I opened the new one.  
Are you saying I should try to re-open that ticket?

Are you saying I should try to re-open that ticket?

OR are you saying that ticket gives me the options to solve the problem myself 
in which case, I am not sure how they applied to nodetool at allI have 
nodetool and I have cassandra.  The links to documents are too code...am I 
supposed to modify nodetool then myself?

thanks,
Dean

Also, all those options seems like a ton of work for an operations guy that 
doesn't really know java.so it really seems like an odd solution for 
nodetool.
