EACH_QUORUM for one DC

2012-09-06 Thread Chong Zhang
Hi,

If there is only one DC, can we still use EACH_QUORUM for write? We only
have one DC now, but will build another one in future and like to use
EACH_QUORUM when there are two. But like to know if it's good to use
EACH_QUORUM with the current 1 DC.

And if there are two DCs but in some cases one whole DC cluster is down,
does that mean all the writes are going to fail?

Thanks,
Chong


Re: tokens and RF for multiple phases of deployment

I followed the doc to add the new node. After the nodetool repair, the
'Load' on the new node in DC2 increased to 250M. But the 'Owns' col are
still 50%, 50%, 0%, and I guess it's OK because the new token value is 1?

Thanks,
Chong

 yeah, thats the way it will look.

 But all the other rows are not in the new node. Do I need to copy the data
 files from a node in DC1 to the new node?

 How did you add the node ? (see
 http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/operations/cluster_management#adding-nodes-to-a-cluster
 )

 if in doubt run nodetool repair on the new node.

 Thanks Aaron.

 I might use LOCAL_QUORUM to avoid the waiting on the ack from DC2.

 Another question, after I setup a new node with token +1 in a new DC,  and
 updated a CF with RF {DC1:2, DC2:1}. When i update a column on one node in
 DC1, it's also updated in the new node in DC2. But all the other rows are
 not in the new node. Do I need to copy the data files from a node in DC1 to

 Start with tokens for a 4 node cluster. Add the next 4 between between
 each of the ranges. Add 8 in the new DC to have the same tokens as the
 first DC +1

 Also if we use the same RF (3) in both DC, and use EACH_QUORUM for write
 and LOCAL_QUORUM for read, can the read also reach to the 2nd cluster?

 No. It will fail if there are not enough nodes available in the first DC.

 We'd like to keep both write and read on the same cluster.

 Writes go to all replicas. Using EACH_QUORUM means the client in the
 first DC will be waiting for the quorum from the second DC to ack the
 write.

 and switch to 2nd cluster if the whole 1st cluster is down or
