nodetool disablethrift

Disables the Thrift server.

Synopsis

nodetool [options] disablethrift

Cassandra tarball installations:

installation_location/cassandra/bin

Table 1. Options
Short	Long	Description
`-h`	`--host`	Hostname or IP address.
`-p`	`--port`	Port number.
`-pwf`	`--password-file`	Password file path.
`-pw`	`--password`	Password.
`-u`	`--username`	Remote JMX agent username.
`--`	Separates an option from an argument that could be mistaken for a option.

Note:

For tarball installations, execute the command from the install_location/bin directory.
If a username and password for RMI authentication are set explicitly in the cassandra-env.sh file for the host, then you must specify credentials.
nodetool disablethrift operates on a single node in the cluster if -h is not used to identify one or more other nodes. If the node from which you issue the command is the intended target, you do not need the -h option to identify the target; otherwise, for remote invocation, identify the target node, or nodes, using -h.

Description

nodetool disablethrift will disable thrift on a node preventing the node from acting as a coordinator. The node can still be a replica for a different coordinator and data read at consistency level ONE could be stale. To cause a node to ignore read requests from other coordinators, nodetool disablegossip would also need to be run. However, if both commands are run, the node will not perform repairs, and the node will continue to store stale data. If the goal is to repair the node, set the read operations to a consistency level of QUORUM or higher while you run repair. An alternative approach is to delete the node's data and restart the Cassandra process.

Note that the nodetool commands using the -h option will not work remotely on a disabled node until nodetool enablethrift and nodetool enablegossip are run locally on the disabled node.

Examples

nodetool -u cassandra -pw cassandra disablethrift 192.168.100.1
