v0.6: nodes randomly fail to start with passwords mismatch #62

Open gberche-orange opened 6 years ago

gberche-orange commented 6 years ago

We observe randomly the following symptom with v0.6 release. We're not yet sure whether the root cause comes from the environment (bosh director or infrastructure) or from the cassandra 0.6 release.

However, after a few minutes the deployment status displays the nodes as running

This error means the password for the cassandra admin user is not the default cassandra and not the one that the deployment specifies.

This typically happens when you try to set a new value to the cassandra_password property. In v6, you can never change the value of this property.

You must upgrade to v8 in order to benefit from the password update feature (#48) for the cassandra admin user.

Plus, there is now a dedicated cassandra-deployment Git repo for the v8, which eases things a lot when it comes to writing a COA deployment. Everything is easier with v8. You should not use v6 anymore.

If you don't mind, we'll close this issue.
