Hello, We have run into a very interesting issue and maybe some of you have encountered it or just have an idea where to look.
We are working towards adding new dcs into our cluster, here's the current topology: DC1 - 18 nodes DC2 - 18 nodes DC3 - 18 nodes DC4 - 18 nodes DC5 - 18 nodes Recently we introduced a new DC6 (60 nodes) into our cluster. The joining and rebuilding of DC6 went smoothly, clients are using it without issue. This is how it looked after joining DC6: DC1 - 18 nodes DC2 - 18 nodes DC3 - 18 nodes DC4 - 18 nodes DC5 - 18 nodes DC6 - 60 nodes Next we wanted to add another DC7 (also 60 nodes) making it a total of 210 nodes in the cluster, and while joining new nodes went smoothly, once we changed the replication of user defined keyspaces to include DC7, no clients were able to connect to Cassandra (regardless of which DC is being addressed). They would throw an exception that I have provided at the end of the email. Cassandra version 3.11.4. C# driver version 3.12.0. Also tested with 3.14.0. We use dc round robin policy and update ring metadata for connecting clients. Amount of vnodes per node: 256 The stack trace starts with an exception 'The source argument contains duplicate keys.'. Maybe you know what kind of data is in this dictionary? What data can be duplicated here? Clients are unable to connect until the moment we remove DC7 from replication. Once replication is adjusted to exclude DC7, clients can connect normally.
