I'm having difficulties setting up a 3 way cassandra cluster. Any comments/help would be appreciated.
My goal is that all data should be fully replicated amongst the 3 nodes. I want to simulate the failure of one node and proof that the test column family still can be accessed. In a nutshell I did the following 3 steps. The excerpt below shows the changed storage-con.xml: (1) I started Cassandra-ca and worked fine. I added 3 rows to a cf cf_test. (2) Then I started Cassandra-or. It comes up ok but goes into "sleeping 30000".....mode (3) Nodetool streams doesn't reveal anything. Node: Cassandra-ca <AutoBootstrap>false</AutoBootstrap> <Keyspace Name="ks_test"> <ColumnFamily Name="cf_test" CompareWith="UTF8Type" /> <ReplicaPlacementStrategy>org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy</ReplicaPlacementStrategy> <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor> <EndPointSnitch>org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch</EndPointSnitch> </Keyspace> <Seeds><Seed>cassandra-ca</Seed></Seeds> <ThriftAddress>cassandra-us</ThriftAddress> <ThriftPort>9160</ThriftPort> <ListenAddress>cassandra-us</ListenAddress> Cassandra-or <AutoBootstrap>true</AutoBootstrap> <Keyspace Name="ks_test"> <ColumnFamily Name="cf_test" CompareWith="UTF8Type" /> <ReplicaPlacementStrategy>org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy</ReplicaPlacementStrategy> <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor> <EndPointSnitch>org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch</EndPointSnitch> </Keyspace> <Seeds><Seed>cassandra-or</Seed></Seeds> <ThriftAddress>cassandra-or</ThriftAddress> <ThriftPort>9160</ThriftPort> <ListenAddress>cassandra-or</ListenAddress> Cassandra-az Cassandra-or <AutoBootstrap>true</AutoBootstrap> <Keyspace Name="ks_test"> <ColumnFamily Name="cf_test" CompareWith="UTF8Type" /> <ReplicaPlacementStrategy>org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy</ReplicaPlacementStrategy> <ReplicationFactor>1</ReplicationFactor> <EndPointSnitch>org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch</EndPointSnitch> </Keyspace> <Seeds><Seed>cassandra-az</Seed></Seeds> <ThriftAddress>cassandra-az</ThriftAddress> <ThriftPort>9160</ThriftPort> <ListenAddress>cassandra-az</ListenAddress>
