hi; We have cassandra cluster with Vnodes spanning across 3 data centers. We take backup of the snapshots from one datacenter. In a doomsday scenario, we want to restore a downed datacenter, with snapshots from another datacenter. We have same number of nodes in each datacenter.
1 : We know it requires copying the snapshots and their corresponding token ranges to the nodes in new datacenter, and running nodetool refresh. 2 : The question is, we will now have 2 datacenters, with the same exact token ranges. Will that cause any problem. DC1 : Node-1 : token1......token10 Node-2 : token11 .....token20 Node-3 : token21 ..... token30 Node-4 : token31 ..... token40 DC2 : Node-1 : token1.....token10 Node-2 : token11....token20 Node-3 : token21....token30 Node-4 : token31....token40 thanks Sai
