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

If cassandra is not running, you can wipe the data folder.

rm -rf /usr/lib/cassandra/data/*

This will clear the system tables which had the wrong cluster name. \ When your restart cassandra with the correct cluster name in your cassandra.yaml everything will be regenerated and you should be good.
