Hi Carlos, We are running 1.2.14 which is higher than 1.2.9 so I have an assumption that the network layer is compatible, or do you specifically mean that 2.10 is not compatible with 1.2.x ?

You have to upgrade to 2.0 and then to 2.1. Acording to this http://www.datastax.com/documentation/upgrade/doc/upgrade/cassandra/upgradeC_c.html you should even do a upgrade to 1.2.9 first. The major upgrade I did 1.2.x to 2.0.x I did it putting a new ring with the 2.0 machines, clients writing to both and the move the old machines from one ring to the other like they were brand new machines. The historical data was imported in batches.

I have a large Cassandra cluster with dozens of nodes, and would like to build new instances at version 2.1 to join the cluster and once they have successfully joined the rink these should then stream data in. Once they have fully joined the cluster I would like to decommission a single Cassandra 1.2.14 instance, and repeat. Due to the fact that our 2.1 installations have a different directory layout we would like to go with this ‘streaming’ option for the upgrade rather than an inplace upgrade. Does anyone foresee any issues with this. Thanks in advance.
