homepage-banner

Cassandra is a distributed database system designed to manage large amounts of data across multiple commodity servers, providing high availability and fault tolerance. Managing such a distributed database system can be complex and require significant expertise. Cassandra Cluster Manager (CCM) is an open-source tool that simplifies the management of Cassandra clusters, making it easy to create, manage, and destroy Cassandra clusters quickly and efficiently.

Preparing ccm

pip install ccm
## or
brew install ccm

Creating a Cluster

ccm create -v 4.0.0 -n 3 test_cluster --vnodes
ccm list
ccm status
ccm start
ccm node1 status
ccm node1 ring
## Using cqlsh with CCM
ccm node1 cqlsh
## Get SSTable Information
ccm node1 getsstables

Adding Nodes to a Cluster

ccm add node4 -i 127.0.0.4 -j 7400
