Re: Taking a Cluster Wide Snapshot
Thanks for posting the script.
I see that the snapshot is always a full one, and if I understand
correctly, it replaces the old snapshot on S3. Am I right?

RE: Taking a Cluster Wide Snapshot
Posted by Shubham Srivastava <Sh...@makemytrip.com>.
I finally tried the global snapshots stuff below is what I did.
I have taken data from all individual nodes from a single DC after changing the numerical part(this numerical part can have only a max value of 2147483647).
1.My individual nodes were having 12Gb odd data so after combining it was around 77 Gb of data.
2.My new ring had exact configuration in terms of number of nodes,RF and token distribution.
3.I copied all the data on all individual nodes and ran cleanup.
4.After running cleanup all the nodes had an data in range of 34Gb-38Gb .
5.The data on all the nodes was correct validated against the original ring.
6.One of the node in a DC had data close to 68Gb and running cleanup didnt triggered anything
What I can't understood by now is the
1.Is the data size correct . I have RF=3 and 6 nodes in one DC as on the other . Is it because ((77 * 3)/6
2.Why was one node having 68Gb data .
Below is the ring status

I think it make's sense and would be happy if you can share the incremental snapshot scripts.
Thanks!

Hopefully the one single DC data(from all the nodes in this DC) should give me the complete data just in case if RF >=1 .
The next improvement would be do do the same on incremental snapshots so that once you have a baseline data all the rest would be collecting chunks of increments alone and merging it with the original global snapshot.
I have do the same on each individual DC's.
Do you guys agree?

here's how i'm doing in AWS land using the DataStax AMI via a nightly cron job. you'll need pssh and s3cmd -
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/ec2-user/ops
echo "making snapshots"
pssh -h prod-cassandra-nodes.txt -l ubuntu -P 'nodetool -h localhost -p 7199 clearsnapshot stocktouch'
pssh -h prod-cassandra-nodes.txt -l ubuntu -P 'nodetool -h localhost -p 7199 snapshot stocktouch'
echo "making tar balls"
pssh -h prod-cassandra-nodes.txt -l ubuntu -P -t 0 'rm `hostname`-cassandra-snapshot.tar.gz'
pssh -h prod-cassandra-nodes.txt -l ubuntu -P -t 0 'tar -zcvf `hostname`-cassandra-snapshot.tar.gz /raid0/cassandra/data/stocktouch/snapshots'
echo "coping tar balls"
pslurp -h prod-cassandra-nodes.txt -l ubuntu /home/ubuntu/*cassandra-snapshot.tar.gz .
echo "tar'ing tar balls"
tar -cvf cassandra-snapshots-all-nodes.tar 10*
echo "pushing to S3"
../s3cmd-1.1.0-beta3/s3cmd put cassandra-snapshots-all-nodes.tar s3://stocktouch-backups

On another thought I am writing a code/script for taking a backup of all the nodes in a single DC , renaming data files with some uid and then merging them . The storage however would happen on some storage medium nas for ex which would be in the same DC. This would help in data copying a non hefty job.
Hopefully the one single DC data(from all the nodes in this DC) should give me the complete data just in case if RF >=1 .
