Hello, I have a cassandra provisioned inside a k8 node using casskop. I would like to snapshot the keyspace and restore it to another cassandra in another VM.
is this possible ? if so what's the best way can I achieve it ?
Thank you
Is it possible to migrate data from a Cassandra cluster in k8s to a cluster in a VM?
Yes, it is possible to do it and whether the clusters are in Kubernetes or VM is not relevant since what you're doing is just cloning the tables from one cluster to another. You can clone the data from the snapshot one table a time.
If the source cluster in Kubernetes is "identical" in configuration to the destination cluster, follow the steps I documented in #4534. Otherwise if they're not identical, follow the steps I documented in #4477.
For the purposes of this question, two clusters have identical configuration if:
- the cluster topologies are identical -- same number of DCs, same number of nodes in each DC
- the token assignments are identical -- the assigned tokens for each node in one cluster is a mirror-image of the nodes in another cluster
Cheers!
