This has not been my experience. Changing IP address is one of the worst admin tasks for Cassandra. System.peers and other information on each nodes is stored by ip address. And gossip is really good at sending around the old information mixed with new…

My procedure is: Turn down one node, setting auto_bootstrap to false in yaml file, then bring it up with -Dcassandra.replace_address. Repeat the procedure one by one for the other nodes. I care about streaming because the data is very large and if there is streaming, it will take a long time. When the node with new IP be brought up, will it take over the token range it has before? I expect no token range reassignment and no streaming. Am I right? Any thing I need care about when making IP address change? Changing the IP address of a node does not require special considerations. After restart with the new address the server will notice it and log a warning, but it will keep token ownership as long as it keeps the old host id (meaning it must use the same data directory as before restart). At the same time, *do not* use the replace_address option: it assumes empty data directory and will try to stream data from other replicas into the node. -- Alex ________________________________ The information in this Internet Email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
