Also, setting auto_bootstrap to false and setting token= to the one that it said it would use in the logs allows the new node to jo= in the ring.

Adding the fourth node to= the cluster with an empty schema using auto_bootstrap was not successful.&= nbsp; A nodetool netstats on the new node shows “Mode: Joining: getting bootstrap token” similar to what the third node did before i= t was manually added. Also, there are no exceptions in the logs but i= t never joins the ring.

Hi Len,

This looks like a decent workaround. I would be very= interested to see how the addition of the 4th node went. Please post it wh= enever you get a chance.

Thanks!

I have the same problem on 0= .7.5 auto bootstrapping a 3rd node onto an empty 2 node test cluster (the t= wo nodes were manually added) and the it currently has an empty schema. My log entries look similar to yours. = I took the new token it says its going to use from the log file added it to= the yaml and turned off auto bootstrap and the node added fine. I'm = bringing up a 4th node now and will see if it has the same problem auto bootstrapping.

Hey guys,

I'm running into what se= ems like a very basic problem.

I have a one node cassan= dra instance. Version 0.7.5. Freshly installed. Contains no data.

The cassandra.yaml is th= e same as the default one that is supplied, except for data/commitlog/saved= _caches directories.

I also changed the addre= sses to point to a externally visible ip address.

The cassandra comes up n= icely and is ready to accept thrift connections.

I do a nodetool and this= is what I get.

10.242.217.124 Up = Normal 6.54 KB 100.00% 1100= 22862993086789903543147927259579701

Which seems right to me.=

Now I start another node= . Almost identical configuration to the first one. Except the bootstrap is = turned true and seeds appropriately set.

When I start the second,= I notice that the second one contacts the first node to get the new token.=

I see the following line= s in the first machine(the seed machine).

off of 0 rows to endpoin= t /10.83.111.80<= /o:p>

However when i do a node= ring, I still get

10.242.217.124 Up = Normal 6.54 KB 100.00% 1100= 22862993086789903543147927259579701

Even though the second n= ode has come up. On the second machine the logs say

This seems to indicate t= hat the second node has joined the ring. And has gotten its key range. = ;

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!
