One should avoid doing things (apart from normal traffic) in mixed mode. The best approach is to upgrade the nodes as fast as possible and then do other activities. Regards On Thu, May 20, 2021 at 10:44 AM Jai Bheemsen Rao Dhanwada < jaibheem...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions. >

Thanks for the suggestions. Few more questions on the mixed mode. Can I perform the below operations on my cluster in the mixed mode? 1. Add a new datacenter with the new version 2. Remove a datacenter 3. Add more nodes to the upgraded or non-upgraded datacenter 4. Schema changes I haven't teste

Thanks for the response, Is there a limit on how long I can run in mixed mode? Let's say if datacenter 1 is upgraded and upgradesstables was run on day 1 and datacenter 3 is upgraded and upgradesstables runs on day 10. Is that going to be a big concern? > 2 might be strictly safer if you trust in
