@Mr._Layup: Hello!
I have a cluster with 3 nodes, and yesterday the disk on the DB2 node failed. Today, I replaced the disk and rebuilt the RAID0 (which resulted in data loss). After that, I re-added the node using the replace_node_first_boot option. However, I am now experiencing some imbalance in load:
Status=Up/Down
|/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving
-- Address Load Tokens Owns Host ID Rack
UN DB1 1.35 GB 256 ? 266ce553-11ab-413c-a3fa-2fdfd1a3d452 RACK1
UN DB2 1.36 GB 256 ? d932241c-0fe9-4965-833e-599d3be68555 RACK2
UN DB3 423.32 MB 256 ? cc38257d-ac6e-4767-8806-4c970e84b986 RACK3
Before performing operations on the production cluster, I tested the process on a similar development cluster using synthetic data, and I did not observe such a significant load imbalance.
Is it safe to run a repair on the cluster? I have some concerns about potentially losing data from my cluster.
Thank you for your help!
@Felipe_Cardeneti_Mendes: Yes, you may repair - though if you are running a reasonably recent version replace should’ve already repaired on its own. Doesn’t seem like a problem, keep in mind the load column refreshes whenever nodes get restarted, etc
@Mr._Layup: 5.4.4.
Thank yu, didn’t know about refreshing after restart.
