I am preparing the documentation for another Cassandra cluster in a new datacenter and wonder how the bootstrap process of the seed nodes and non seed nodes should be done. For the most part I am following the steps from this blog.
Currently the cluster is on version 3.11.5 and the official documentation says nothing about the auto_bootstrap
setting when setting up a new DC.
When I boot the nodes in the new DC one by one, I don't want to stream any data yet (keyspace has already been adjusted so that the new DC has replication factor 0). Shouldn't I rather set the auto_bootstrap
setting to false
or do I not understand something correctly?
In the Cassandra 2.2 documentation, it is explicitly pointed out that the setting should be set to false.
I hope I was able to explain my understanding problem.
Cheers!
