Not able to run Cassandra locally using brew - cassandra

I am trying to run Cassandra on my machine. Tying cqlsh gives me this error,
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1:9042': error(61, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
Running cassandra -f hangs.
I installed cassandra using brew install cassandra.
Also I have done all of the followings:
Killed docker instance
Uninstall and reinstall Cassandra (deleted all the Cassandra data and filles from my machine)
Restarted my machine
Purged docker data
I don't know why still I am running into this. Running brew services list shows:
Name Status User Plist
cassandra started aanish /Users/aanish/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.cassandra.plist
mysql stopped
mysql#5.7 started aanish /Users/aanish/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.mysql#5.7.plist
postgresql stopped

The cqlsh connection error indicates that localhost is not listening on port 9042 (Cassandra's CQL client port). The most likely reason is that the Cassandra process is not running.
You can confirm whether the Java process is listening on port 9042 if you run the following command in a terminal:
$ sudo lsof -nPi -sTCP:LISTEN
You will need to review the system.log (typically in /var/log/cassandra) to figure out what is going on with Cassandra.
Note that if you set rpc_address in cassandra.yaml to the IP of your mac, you need to specify that address when you connect with cqlsh. For example:
$ cqlsh 10.1.2.3

Multi-node multi-datacenter CASSANDRA

I am trying to setup a multi-node multi-datacenter cluster in Cassandra 3.11
For data-center 1 I have Cassandra running on 3 nodes(eg. 10.90.22.11, 10.90.22.12 and 10.90.22.13) and for data-center 2 I have Cassandra running on 2 nodes(eg. 10.90.22.21 and 10.90.22.22).
The ring is up but they are working separately. To make them work together I update the endpoint_snitch to be GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and also the dc and rac in cassandra-rackdc.properties to be DC1 and DC2 for respective nodes following the steps mentioned in this link.
After these changes when I restart Cassandra, the status of Cassandra is running however when I check for the ring with nodetool status I receive a error:
nodetool: Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199'
ConnectException: 'Connection refused (Connection refused)'
What am I missing?
This error you posted indicates that nodetool couldn't connect to JMX that is supposed to be listening on port 7199:
Failed to connect to '127.0.0.1:7199'
Verify that Cassandra is running and check that the process is bound to various ports including 7199, 9042 and 7000. You can try running one of these commands:
$ netstat -tnlp
$ sudo lsof -nPi | grep LISTEN | grep java
Cheers!
You should try nodetool command with host/IP what you have put in your cassandra.yaml. Also, you should check your port 7199 or custom port if you set is open/allow from firewall.
nodetool -h hostname/ip status.
you can mention username.password if you enabled. please refer below link for more details and understanding:-

Connecting to cqlsh from remote fails, where as from localhost it connects?

Installed DSE on CentOS7 and saw no errors, I'm able to connect to cqlsh from the local machine and and I'm able to also do a telnet on the port.
However the problem is that when the same is done from a remote machine I get the below error
cqlsh XX.XXX.XX.XX 3389
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'10.223.61.49': ConnectionShutdown('Connection to 10.223.61.49 was closed',)})
To check the connectivity I did a telnet on this and see the below error
telnet XX.XXX.XX.XX 3389
Invalid or unsupported protocol version (13); supported versions are (3/v3, 4/v4, 5/v5-beta, 65/dse-v1)
I tried updating the Python version, also few tweaks to change the py script also didn't help

Cassandra Cqlsh is not working

I've just started working with Cassandra (homebrew install), version 3.7 and cqlsh version 5.0.1. , OS X El Capitan
Cassandra starts up fine and the cluster is operational instantly.
Cqlsh is not working (on any of the nodes) and emits the following error:
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1':
error(61, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error:
Connection refused")})
Edit cqlsh and change DEFAULT_HOST = IP and then run cqlsh.
I think the first step you should be doing is running netstat -ntpl. This should list down all the ports active on the system. Check for Local Address there you shall find a IP prepended with 9042.
Use this IP to connect ie cqlsh IP . If you do not find the 9042 port in the netstat output than check your cassandra.yaml file. Grep for native_transport_port see if it is 9042 or something different.
If different than connect on that port via cqlsh.
For future reference, if someone else gets it.
I'm running [cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.11.4 | CQL spec 3.4.4].
Add start_native_transport: true field in cassandra.yaml file, by default it doesn't enables it and so no rpc communication with client.
Now try connecting with cqlsh rpc_endpoint(rpc addr set in cassandra.yaml).

cqlsh Connection refused

When ever you get a Cassandra cqlsh Connection error as follows:
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': error(111, "Tried connecting to [('127.0.0.1', 9042)]. Last error: Connection refused")})
You can also connect without using the IP address - just use the hostname:
cqlsh ‘hostname -I’
Another solution, type cqlsh <listen_address> [<port>] if it is not set to 127.0.0.1 or localhost
I was having the same issue with Cassandra 3.11.0, anytime I changed the address of rpc or listen address cqlsh wouldn't work. I had to add the same local ip to seeds
So after trial and error my cassandra.yml looked like:
class-name: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSeedProvider
parameters:
-seeds: "192.168.0.30"
listen_adress: 192.168.0.30
rpc_address: 192.168.0.30
then running
cqlsh 192.168.0.30 9042
When I installed Cassandra 3.11.1, I came across this problem.
I also found if I ran
service cassandra status
, there is a
cassandra dead but pid file exists
problem. It indicates that the Cassandra service does not start
I checked the
/var/log/cassandra/cassandra.log
and found this error:
Exception encountered during startup...
.It is a bug and already reported. The original post link https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14173.
The solution is to downgrade Cassandra to 3.0
download Cassandra rpm
curl -O
https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/30x/cassandra-3.0.15-1.noarch.rpm
or
wget
https://www.apache.org/dist/cassandra/redhat/30x/cassandra-3.0.15-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh cassandra-3.0.15-1.noarch.rpm
service cassandra start
service cassandra status # check cassandra status, it should say
cassandra (pid 1234) is running...
cqlsh #start cassandra
Hope this helps you

How to configure cassandra for remote connection

I am trying to configure Cassandra Datastax Community Edition for remote connection on windows,
Cassandra Server is installed on a Windows 7 PC, With the local CQLSH it connects perfectly to the local server.
But when i try to connect with CQLSH from another PC in the same Network, i get this error message:
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'MYHOST':
error(10061, "Tried connecting to [('HOST_IP', 9042)]. Last error: No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused
it")})
So i am wondering how to configure correctly (what changes should i make on cassandra.yaml config file) the Cassandra server to allow remote connections.
Thank you in advance!
How about this:
Make these changes in the cassandra.yaml config file:
start_rpc: true
rpc_address: 0.0.0.0
broadcast_rpc_address: [node-ip]
listen_address: [node-ip]
seed_provider:
- class_name: ...
- seeds: "[node-ip]"

Remote access to Cassandra is via its thrift port for Cassandra 2.0. In Cassandra 2.0.x, the default cqlsh listen port is 9160 which is defined in cassandra.yaml by the rpc_port parameter. By default, Cassandra 2.0.x and earlier enables Thrift by configuring start_rpc to true in the cassandra.yaml file.
In Cassandra 2.1, the cqlsh utility uses the native protocol. In Cassandra 2.1, which uses the Datastax python driver, the default cqlsh listen port is 9042.
The cassandra node should be bound to the IP address of your server's network card - it shouldn't be 127.0.0.1 or localhost which is the loopback interface's IP, binding to this will prevent direct remote access. To configure the bound address, use the rpc_address parameter in cassandra.yaml. Setting this to 0.0.0.0 will listen on all network interfaces.
Have you checked that the remote machine can connect to the Cassandra node? Is there a firewall between the machines? You can try these steps to test this out:
1) Ensure you can connect to that IP from the server you are on:
$ ssh user#xxx.xxx.xx.xx
2) Check the node's status and also confirm it shows the same IP:
$nodetool status
3) Run the command to connect with the IP (only specify the port if you are not using the default):
$ cqlsh xxx.xxx.xx.xx
Alternate solution to Kat. Worked with Ubuntu 16.04
ssh into server server_user#**.**.**.**
Stop cassandra if running:
Check if running with ps aux | grep cassandra
If running, will output a large block of commands / flags, e.g.
ubuntu 14018 4.6 70.1 2335692 712080 pts/2 Sl+ 04:15 0:11 java -Xloggc:./../logs/gc.log ........
Note 14018 in the example is the process id
Stop with kill <process_id> (in this case 14018)
edit cassandra.yaml file to be the following
rpc_address: 0.0.0.0
broadcast_rpc_address: **.**.**.** <- your server's IP (cannot be set to 0.0.0.0)
Restart cassandra ./bin/cassandra -f (from within cassandra root)
Open another terminal on local machine & connect via cqlsh **.**.**.** (your server's IP) to test.
The ./bin/nodetool status address reported my localhost IP (127.0.0.1), but cqlsh remotely still worked despite that.
