Incremental backups

Hi,

I am configured to do incremental backups on all my node on the cluster but
it is not working.

In cassandra.yaml : incremental_backups: true

When I check data folder there are some keyspaces that has folder backups
but empty and I suspect this is a folder created in the past when I had
0.7.6 version.

In a new creted Keyspace the folder does not exists.

Does someone know if I need to configure any thing besides cassandra.yaml
for this to work?

 

Thanks

Michael


Re: Incremental backups

Posted by aaron morton <aa...@thelastpickle.com>.
mmm, they are not included in the snapshot they are probably not used.

Have you dropped an index call 09partition on AttractionCheckins?

In [52]: "".join(chr(int(x+y, 16)) for x,y in zip("3039706172746974696f6e"[0::2], "3039706172746974696f6e"[1::2]))
Out[52]: '09partition'

The simple thing to do is restart cassandra and grep the log for the file names. If they are not there you are safe to blast away. 

your upgrade process was correct.

Cheers

RE: Incremental backups

Posted by Michael Vaknine <mi...@citypath.com>.
When I upgraded I did it in 2 stages.

 

Upgrade from 0.7.6 to 1.0.0 

Run scrub on each node.

Run repair on the cluster

Upgrade to 1.0.3

 

Is it safe to run scrub again? Because it did not seem to help when I
updated it to 1.0.0

Was there a bug in the scrub process in 1.0.0?

 

What is the best way to handle this to solve and get a valid environment?

 

Thanks

Michael

Did you run a scrub as part of the upgrade process ? That will re-write all
the sstables and remove the old ones.

 

If not run a scrub now and it will re-write the data with a -hb- format in
the file name.

Looks like you are on a 0.7.X release, which one exactly ? It would be a
really good idea to at least be on 8.X, preferably 1.0

 

Pre 1.0 compacted SSTables were removed during JVM GC, but compacted
SSTables  have a .Compacted file created so we know they are no longer
needed. 

 

These SSTables look like secondary index files. It may be a bug if they are
not included in the incremental backups.

As this option is in the cassandra.yaml file, you might need to perform a

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I am configured to do incremental backups on all my node on the cluster but
it is not working.

In cassandra.yaml : incremental_backups: true

When I check data folder there are some keyspaces that has folder backups
but empty and I suspect this is a folder created in the past when I had
0.7.6 version.

In a new creted Keyspace the folder does not exists.

Does someone know if I need to configure any thing besides cassandra.yaml
for this to work?

 

Thanks

Michael

RE: Incremental backups

Posted by Michael Vaknine <mi...@citypath.com>.
I am on 1.0.3 release and it looks like very old files that remained from
the upgrade process.

How can I verify that?

Looks like you are on a 0.7.X release, which one exactly ? It would be a
really good idea to at least be on 8.X, preferably 1.0

 

Pre 1.0 compacted SSTables were removed during JVM GC, but compacted
SSTables  have a .Compacted file created so we know they are no longer
needed. 

 

These SSTables look like secondary index files. It may be a bug if they are
not included in the incremental backups.

In data/City folder there are files that are not created in the snapshot
folder (it looks like old orphaned files)

Is there any process of cassandta that will delete uneeded files I tried to
run nodetool cleanup but it did not help.

As this option is in the cassandra.yaml file, you might need to perform a
restart of your entire cluster (a rolling restart should work).

 

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I am configured to do incremental backups on all my node on the cluster but
it is not working.

In cassandra.yaml : incremental_backups: true

When I check data folder there are some keyspaces that has folder backups
but empty and I suspect this is a folder created in the past when I had
0.7.6 version.

In a new creted Keyspace the folder does not exists.

Does someone know if I need to configure any thing besides cassandra.yaml
for this to work?

 

Thanks

Michael

RE: Incremental backups

Posted by Michael Vaknine <mi...@citypath.com>.
Hi,

Thank you for response.

I did restart for all the nodes and now I can see files in backup folders so
It seems like it is working.

During this process I have noticed to something very strange

 

In data/City folder there are files that are not created in the snapshot
folder (it looks like old orphaned files)

Is there any process of cassandta that will delete uneeded files I tried to
run nodetool cleanup but it did not help.

 

This is the files:

As this option is in the cassandra.yaml file, you might need to perform a
restart of your entire cluster (a rolling restart should work).

 

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I am configured to do incremental backups on all my node on the cluster but
it is not working.

In cassandra.yaml : incremental_backups: true

When I check data folder there are some keyspaces that has folder backups
but empty and I suspect this is a folder created in the past when I had
0.7.6 version.

In a new creted Keyspace the folder does not exists.

Does someone know if I need to configure any thing besides cassandra.yaml
for this to work?

 

Thanks

Michael
