Print cluster information

When you enable verbose logging with the --log.verbosity 2 (high) option on the dsbulk command, DataStax Bulk Loader prints basic information about the associated cluster:

Partitioner: name-of-partitioner
Total number of hosts: number
DataCenters: list-of-datacenter-names
Hosts: list-of-hosts: address, dseVersion, cassandraVersion, dataCenter

This information can help when you are investigating any load or unload issues.

The output is sorted by ascending IP address. If there are more than 100 nodes comprising the cluster, nodes beyond the 100th node aren’t listed, and DataStax Bulk Loader prints (Other nodes omitted).

Log messages are only logged to the main log file, operation.log, and to standard error. Nothing from the log is printed to stdout.

For more information about log levels, see Logging options.
