It looks like if CASSANDRA_HOME is set to an older cassandra distro, the cli invocation picks that up instead of the brisk environment. Since puppet restored my .bash_profile to the original that set CASSANDRA_HOME to point to my 0.7.5 install, I guess that code was getting invoked.</p> <p>Thanks for the help.</p> <p>sudo /etc/init.d/puppet stop -- woops, wrong window. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-cli-has-alarming-output-for-show-keyspaces#post-62 Tue, 17 May 2011 19:59:49 +0000 thobbs 62@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>This sounds like you're using an 0.7 (or early 0.8) CLI. I think an up-to-date 0.8 CLI should fix the problem. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-cli-has-alarming-output-for-show-keyspaces#post-61 Tue, 17 May 2011 19:54:48 +0000 matt 61@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I did a manual install on one node. I have a cassandra user, the binary release was simply untarred in that directory and I made changes to $BRISK_HOME/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml to fit my environment. Nothing major here, I just named the cluster, set the initial_token to zero and changed the paths for data, commitlog, saved_caches etc.</p> <p>I'm able to start up the cluster and JNA appears to be functioning correctly. I was able to successfully run some Hadoop TestDFSIO jobs with no problems.</p> <p>I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary. I can try the same procedure on another node and see if I get similar results.</p> <p>Thanks for the quick response,<br /> Matt </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-cli-has-alarming-output-for-show-keyspaces#post-60 Tue, 17 May 2011 19:45:03 +0000 nickmbailey 60@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>Yes that appears to be a problem. How did you install/run brisk?</p> <p>The system keyspace should be using LocalStrategy and a replication_factor of 1. </p> http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/topic/cassandra-cli-has-alarming-output-for-show-keyspaces#post-59 Tue, 17 May 2011 19:19:48 +0000 matt 59@http://www.datastax.com/support-forums/ <p>I went poking into the cli to try to figure out what the replication factor is the the keyspace backing cassandraFS, but "show keyspaces did the following... (brief session transcript)</p> <p>[default@unknown] connect localhost/9160;<br /> Connected to: "Brisk One Node Cluster" on localhost/9160<br /> [default@unknown] show keyspaces;<br /> Required field 'replication_factor' was not found in serialized data! Struct: KsDef(name:system, .... etc</p> <p>I invoked it from the Brisk home directory. Is this indicative of a problem, or is this expected.</p> <p>Also, how do I find out what the keyspace definition is for the cassandraFS keyspace, or am I incorrect in assuming that cassandraFS is backed by a regular keyspace? </p>
