The tokens were different than the production cluster and after closer inspection a lot of data wasn't queryable (as excpected I suppose). I set the tokens and everything seems ok now. Auto bootstrap was false so no issues there. Thanks for the insight Shyamal! It's good to finally have this up

Yea that's not a mapping I'd like to maintain either -- as an experiment, I copied production sstables to the analysis cluster and ran brisk/cassandra without specifying an initial token (after deleting the LocationInfo* files and renaming the cluster). As far as I can tell, everything is running

Another thing Edward if you don't mind, how does cassandra choose a node to associate with a token if there is more than one node with the same token? I know that's definitely not a favorable situation to be in, but I'm curious how my production ring chose to switch ownership of the tokens. On Su

Hi Shyamal, I was using the same cluster name but since writing that first email, I've already had success bringing up nodes in the analysis cluster with a different cluster name after deleting the LocationInfo* tables. How have you been setting the tokens in the copied version of the cluster? A

Thanks Edward. So would you say this is a good strategy: 1. snapshot files from production cluster 2. move snapshot files to analysis cluster in a one-to-one node fashion (the system/LocationInfo* sstables could be excluded here but I'm moving them all because the transfer is also part of our D

We're exploring a data processing procedure where we snapshot our production cluster data and move that data to a new cluster for analysis but I'm having some strange issues where the analysis cluster is still somehow aware of the production cluster (i.e. the production cluster ring is trying to in
