FAQ

Q. Is Priam 1.0.x compatible?

A. Yes. Priam has been tested with 1.0.7.

Q. Do I need to set the number of zones?

A. By default Priam considers 3 zones when calculating token offset and seeds. You can change it by setting the property: 'priam.zones.available'. Priam can run in single zone mode, however it expects all nodes to be up in the zone before calculating the seeds. This is primarily to have consistent seeds across nodes.

Q. Does Priam start and stop Cassandra?

A. Priam starts Cassandra when it startsup(does not stop Cassandra when it stops). You can also invoke REST calls to explicitly start/stop Cassandra using Priam.

Q. What seeds are being used by Cassandra nodes?

A. You can use REST call on the node to find the list of seeds provided by Priam - 'v1/cassconfig/get_seeds'. Run the following command on the node.
Eg: $curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/Priam/REST/v1/cassconfig/get_seeds
