cassandra - Saved cluster name Test Cluster != configured name

Question

How am I supposed to bot a new Cassandra node when I get this error?

INFO [SSTableBatchOpen:1] 2014-02-25 01:51:17,132 SSTableReader.java (line 223) Opening          


        

Answer 1

The above commands with UPDATE SET cluster_name does not work for me. I found the working is to follow the instructions from the DataStax documentation on Initializing a multiple node cluster:

sudo service cassandra stop
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/cassandra/data/system/*
sudo vi /etc/cassandra/cassandra.yaml, setup the proper parameters
sudo service cassandra start
nodetool status

For some good cluster node setups, I found this blog post to be very useful.
