如何使用sstableloader填充Cassandra集群？

Question

I have set up a 3 node Cassandra Cluster on EC2 using Whirr. I also have a 4th EC2 instance which I am using to write sstables following the example from DataStax .

Once the sstables are written I am attempting to load the Cassandra Cluster however I keep getting :

Starting client (and waiting 30 seconds for gossip) ...
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load any sstable, no live member found in the cluster

I have configured the seed in the sstableloader cassandra.yaml to be a node in the cluster, and opened up the ports between the seed node in the cluster, and the sstableloader instance. I am able to reach the seed node using cassandra-cli from the sstableloader instance, so I think that is all configured properly.

Is there anything else I am missing? Does sstableloader have to be run on one of the cluster nodes itself for gossip to work?

Answer 1

Which ports did you open between the nodes? Port 7000 (by default) specifically is required for gossip.
