RE: Hector 0.8.0-2 update fails with : "All host pools marked down. Retry burden pushed out to client."
Hi there, What have been the problems with Hector? I assume you are using Java client, so which client are you using now to use Cassandra?

Re: Secondary Index seen as empty
Hi Jonathan, Never mind it was an issue with the rmi hostname. Now it works and the issue comes from the following lines (KeysSearcher.java in package org.apache.cassandra.db.index.keys) : if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) logger.debug(String.format("Scanning index %s starting with %s", expressionString(primary), index.getBaseCfs().metadata.getKeyValidator().getString(startKey))); QueryFilter indexFilter = QueryFilter.getSliceFilter(indexKey, new QueryPath(index.getIndexCfs().getColumnFamilyName()), lastSeenKey, endKey, false, rowsPerQuery); ColumnFamily indexRow = index.getIndexCfs().getColumnFamily(indexFilter); < it returns null logger.debug("fetched {}", indexRow); if (indexRow == null) { logger.debug("no data, all done"); return endOfData(); } The matter is that indexFilter returns a new instance of QueryFilter with value QueryFilter(key=DecoratedKey(2012-11-29 02:35:00+, 013b4a046420), path=QueryPath(columnFamilyName='syndic.mailIndex', superColumnName='null', columnName='null'), filter=SliceQueryFilter(start=java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=0 cap=0], finish=java.nio.HeapByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=0 cap=0], reversed=false, count=1]) but then index.getIndexCfs().getColumnFamily(indexFilter) returns null !

Re: 2.0
- world Hi Jonathan, This topic may have been discussed elsewhere, or my memory is worse off than I thought, but what is our long term vision for thrift support? Admittedly, I need to learn much more about the binary CQL protocol, and I understand Ed's concerns, as well (more acutely now) about existing installations, but we probably wouldn't have dreamt up a new client interface/protocol if we went planning, at some point, on retiring the old one. And, also, I missed the Avro debate from the past, so I'm not sure how much that affects current and future thinking. After raising the issue here on the dev list, it certainly seems like 2.0 is premature for a full-on switch over, and Ed raised some interesting metrics to consider when we could declare the CQL protocol as 'accepted'. I'm curious as to how you are seeing it roll out.

[VOTE CLOSED] Release Apache Cassandra 1.2.0-rc1
Alright, seems we can use a beta 3 before calling this a RC1. So I'm closing this vote and I'll rebrand this as beta3 and do a short 24h with that. And hopefully we'll have a true RC1 quickly after that. Stay tuned. -- Sylvain On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 5:57 AM, Brandon Williams wrote: > On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 10:45 PM, Jonathan Ellis wrote: > > I'm not a fan of blocking a new rc because of bugs that are not > > regressions new in that release.

[VOTE] Release Apache Cassandra 1.2.0-beta3
So it seems we have a few things to fix before calling it a proper release candidate, but we still have had quite a bit of changes since beta2 so I propose the following artifacts for release as 1.2.0-beta3. sha1: b86f75dcd7041815bb66eb3d1bb2c143f8ba5d58 Git: http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cassandra.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/1.2.0-beta3-tentative Artifacts: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-108/org/apache/cassandra/apache-cassandra/1.2.0-beta3/ Staging repository: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachecassandra-108/ The artifacts as well as the debian package are also available here: http://people.apache.org/~slebresne/ Since the artifacts are basically the same ones that for the previous rc1 vote, the vote will be a short one and will be open for 24 hours (but longer if needed).

Anti-Entropy Question
Hello, I have a question that may seem strange. Assume that I have some *known* set of rows in a (potentially very) large data set that I know are out of consistency across the replicas. I can obviously bring these back into consistency by issuing standard reads (with read repair probability set to 1.0) and letting the system take care of it. Of course I could also implement new code as part of the system that takes this set of rows and programmatically issues internal row resolution requests (I have done this). What I am thinking about now is the possibility of doing this in bulkā¦is it conceivably possible to use the anti-entropy mechanism on a targeted set of data? The idea would be to use the efficiency of the repair mechanism and associated bulk transfer without requiring a check of the entire data set. I've been spending a lot of time in the code, but just wanted to ask if anyone knows the feasibility before I spend a lot of time delving into the anti-entropy stuff. Thanks, Bill Katsak
