Problems running sstableloader
Workarounds for sstableloader issues on older versions of Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise.
Running sstableloader results in broken data distribution
Running sstableloader on Cassandra versions prior to 1.2.12 and DataStax Enterprise 3.1.4 or earlier results in broken data distribution. For more information, see CASSANDRA-6272.
We recommend upgrading to DataStax Enterprise 3.1.5 or higher, or Cassandra 1.2.12 or higher. Cassandra 2.0.x is unaffected.
Running sstableloader hangs on restore
Running sstableloader on DataStax Enterprise 4.0.4 when using
DSEDelegateSnitch
(the default snitch) or
DSESimpleSnitch
will cause the restore to hang. If you find that the
OpsCenter restore status is stuck, run the following command on every node in your
cluster:
$ sudo killall sstableloader
The workaround is to modify the group permissions of
/var/lib/cassandra/data to give the opscenter-agent
group write access, or wait for an update to DataStax Enterprise 4.0.x.
