Thanks Audrey for your reply. Is anyone using Cassandra 1.2.* (1.2.5 in particular) in production? If yes, what is the Priam version that you use?
I read at https://github.com/Netflix/Priam/wiki/Compatibility that priam vnodes is a Work In Progress and vnodes is a major feature of cassandra 1.2*. If not Priam, what is the backup solution you use with cassandra 1.2*? What strategies do you use for snapshots etc.?
