I thought I'd just post the following shell transcript to the list in case its of use to others. 

The cassandra-cli tool is part of the cassandra distribution.

To view the data in cassandra using the cassandra-cli tool:

mar759@ala-ono:~$ cassandra-cli -h localhost -p 9160 -k occ

Column Family assumptions read from /home/mar759/.cassandra/assumptions.json

Connected to: "Biocache" on localhost/9160

Welcome to Cassandra CLI version 1.2.10

Type 'help;' or '?' for help.

Type 'quit;' or 'exit;' to quit.

[default@occ] list occ limit 1;

Using default cell limit of 100

Thanks Daniel.

How did you load the data ?

Also can you see the records using the cassandra-cli tool ?

Subject: Using Biocache-Store and Apache Cassandra on different servers

Hi,

We configured the ALA applications on different Servers of the database Server. However, we are having problems running the biocache-store.

I changed the biocache configuration file (/data/biocache/config/biocache-config.properties) and the Cassandra configuration (cassandra.yaml) for enabling remote access.

(biocache-config.properties)

# Cassandra Config

db=cassandra

cassandra.hosts=192.168.15.199

cassandra.port=9160

cassandra.pool=biocache-store-pool

cassandra.keyspace=occ

cassandra.max.connections=-1

cassandra.max.retries=6

thrift.operation.timeout=8000

(cassandra.yaml)

listen_address: 192.168.15.199

rpc_address: 192.168.15.199

rpc_port: 9160

...

Running the Biocache-store in the server 192.168.15.132

When I ran the Loading method, the data were saved correctly in the Cassandra Database. However, in the Processing method, the data was not recovered (see message below) and the Indexing method did not index.

biocache> process dr0

** The delete_resource method also didn't work and I need to delete the occurrence table using the truncate command.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks!!
