DS201 Exercise 9: Gossip
- Difficulty: Beginner
- Time: 10 minutes
In this hands-on lab, you will:
- Use nodetool to view gossip information from different nodes
- Examine the gossip information stored locally in the database
In a fully distributed system such as Cassandra there is no single repository that contains the state of all the nodes in the cluster. Clearly, such a repository would be a single point of failure. Instead, a Cassandra node uses the Gossip protocol to distribute node status amongst its peers.
