It was indeed a dependency issue. joaquin on "AMI 2.4 error" http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/ami-24-error#post-8088 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 10:30:48 +0000 joaquin 8088@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ Hello arodrime, Sorry, the 2.2 AMI became deprecated this past week when the Ubuntu repos were removed. Because of this, we built this new AMI on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. As far as the current issue, this is not related to the stability of the AMI, especially since the only major changes were implemented in the RAIDing aspect of the underlying device names. Instead, the issue came out of failure to sync the python-cql dependencies with the DSC installs: <a href="https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI/commit/6a34df6ad14617413f71cda4d0409414afc58331" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI/commit/6a34df6ad14617413f71cda4d0409414afc58331</a> Feel free to take a look at the changes that were made to produce the 2.4 version of the AMI: <a href="https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI/commits/2.4" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/riptano/ComboAMI/commits/2.4</a> Thanks, Joaquin Alain on "AMI 2.4 error" http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/ami-24-error#post-8078 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 08:36:00 +0000 Alain 8078@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ I tried to expand my cluster twice using the new AMI (and only one available).
