DSE 6.7 Administrator Guide (EOSL)

Getting started
Information about using DataStax Enterprise for Administrators.
Release notes
Release notes for DataStax Enterprise.
Installing
DataStax Enterprise 6.7 can be installed in a number of ways, depending on the purpose of the installation, the type of operating system, and the available permissions.
Configuration
Information about configuring DataStax Enterprise, such as recommended production setting, configuration files, snitch configuration, start-up parameters, heap dump settings, using virtual nodes, and more.
Initializing a cluster
Initializing a DataStax Enterprise (DSE) cluster includes configuring, and choosing how the data is divided across the nodes in the cluster.
Security
DataStax Enterprise 6.7 Security Guide.
DSE advanced functionality
Information on using DSE Analytics, DSEFS, DSE Search, DSE Graph, DSE Advanced Replication, DSE In-Memory, DSE Multi-Instance, DSE Tiered Storage and DSE Performance services.
Tools
Tools include nodetool, dse, and dsefs shell commands, dsetool, fs-stress tool, pre-flight check, and yaml_diff tools, and the sstableloader.
- DSE Metrics Collector
  DSE Metrics Collector aggregates DSE metrics and integrates with centralized monitoring solutions to facilitate problem resolution and remediation.
- nodetool
  Available commands for monitoring a cluster and performing routine database operations.
- dse commands
  The dse commands for starting the database and connecting an external client to a DataStax Enterprise node and performing common utility tasks.
- dsefs shell commands
  The DSEFS functionality supports operations including uploading, downloading, moving, and deleting files, creating directories, and verifying the DSEFS status.
- dsetool
  A list of the available commands for DSE operations.
- Stress tools
  Tools for stress testing DataStax Enterprise.
- SSTable tools
  Available diagnostic tools for analyzing, using, upgrading, and changing DataStax Enterprise SSTables.
  - Get information
    Use these SSTable tools to get information about your SSTables.
  - Perform operations
    Use these SSTable tools to perform operations on your SSTables.
    - sstabledowngrade
      Downgrades the SSTables in the given table or snapshot to the version of OSS Apache Cassandra that is compatible with the current version of DSE while the DSE node is offline.
    - sstablelevelreset
      Resets the level to zero on a set of SSTables using LeveledCompactionStrategy while the DSE node is offline.
    - sstableloader
      Streams a set of SSTable data files to a live cluster.
    - sstableofflinerelevel
      Creates a decent leveling for the given keyspace and table when using LeveledCompactionStrategy while the DSE node is offline.
    - sstablesplit
      Splits SSTable files into multiple SSTables of a maximum designated size while offline.
    - sstableupgrade
      Upgrades the SSTables in the given table or snapshot to the current version of DataStax Enterprise while the DSE node is offline.
  - Ensure data consistency
    Use these SSTable tools to ensure data consistency on your SSTables.
- Preflight check tool
  The preflight check tool is a collection of tests that detects and optionally fixes configuration settings on DataStax Enterprise nodes.
- Compare yaml files
  cluster_check and yaml_diff compare the differences between cassandra.yaml or dse.yaml files.
Operations
DataStax Enterprise operation topics, such as node and datacenter operations, changing replication strategies, configuring compaction and compression, caching, and tuning Bloom filters.
Planning
Hardware selection, estimating disk capacity, anti-patterns, cluster testing and more.
