Hello, We have a ring of 12 nodes with 6 in one data center and 6 in another. We want to shutdown all 6 nodes in data center 1 in order to close it down. We are using a replication factor of 3 and are using RackAwareStrategy with version 0.6.6.
Are there any best practices for doing this type of operation? We have been thinking that using decomission on each of the nodes in the old data center one at a time would do the trick. Does this sound reasonable? We have also been considering increasing the replication factor to 4 and then just shutting down all the old nodes. Would that work as far as data availability would go? Any other suggestions? Thanks. -- Jake Maizel Network Operations Soundcloud Mail & GTalk: j...@soundcloud.com Skype: jakecloud Rosenthaler strasse 13, 101 19, Berlin, DE
