Does failing to run "nodetool cleanup" end up causing more data to be transferred during bootstrapping?

2015-10-07 Thread Kevin Burton
Let's say I have 10 nodes, I add 5 more, if I fail to run nodetool cleanup, is excessive data transferred when I add the 6th node? IE do the existing nodes send more data to the 6th node? the documentation is unclear. It sounds like the biggest problem is that the existing data causes things to

Why can't nodetool status include a hostname?

2015-10-07 Thread Kevin Burton
I find it really frustrating that nodetool status doesn't include a hostname Makes it harder to track down problems. I realize it PRIMARILY uses the IP but perhaps cassandra.yml can include an optional 'hostname' parameter that can be set by the user. OR have the box itself include the hostname

I think what would be most useful would be to pick your largest cluster, and answer based on that. If you have multiple applications in the cluster, then the sum; otherwise, just one. On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 9:50 PM, Jim Ancona wrote: > Hi Jonathan, > > The survey asks about "your application."

If you're at 1 node (N=1) and RF=1 now, and you want to go N=3 RF=3, you ought to be able to increase RF to 3 before bootstrapping your new nodes, with no downtime and no loss of data (even temporary). Effective RF is min-bounded by N, so temporarily having RF > N ought to behave as RF = N. If yo

Re: Node in DL status cannot be removed

2015-10-07 Thread Sebastian Estevez
Doesn't sound like it finished decommissioning (which takes time because it will actually stream that node's data to other nodes who assume the token ranges). 1) If your node still exists, bring it up and nodetool decommission. Wait until the decommission finishes. 2) You can do nodetool removeno

Hi All, After I decommission the node, i see the node status is DL and always there, even after i removed the node, anybody knows how to remove it ? Many thanks. ubuntu@ip-172-31-30-145:~$ nodetool status Datacenter: DC1 === Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving

How many nodes are you planning to add? How many replicas do you want? In general, there shouldn't be a problem adding nodes and then altering the keyspace to change replication. You will want to run repairs to stream the data to the new replicas. You shouldn't need downtime or data migration --

Is replication possible with already existing data?

Hi All. We have a scenario, where till now we had been using a plain, simple single node, with the keyspace created using :: CREATE KEYSPACE our_db WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': '1'} AND durable_writes = true; We now plan to introduce replication (in the
