Cassandra multi node setup script for single host.

Tested cassandra 1.2.3 on Ubuntu 12.0x only

The script make nodes as follows:

node 1: address=127.0.0.1, jmx port=7199
node 2: address=127.0.0.2, jmx port=7200
node 3: address=127.0.0.3, jmx port=7201

Preparation (only OSX)

Create interface aliases you need

sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.2 up
sudo ifconfig lo0 alias 127.0.0.3 up

Getting Started (make 3 nodes)

1. install cassandra. http://cassandra.apache.org/download/

2. clone this.

  $ git clone https://github.com/ksauzz/cassandra-multi-node.git
  $ cd cassandra-multi-node
  

3. create nodes.

  $ ./multi-node.sh create 3 cassandra_home
  

4. start cassandra multi-node.

  $ ./multi-node.sh start_all
  

5. show ring status.

  $ nodes/1/bin/nodetool ring
