Properties
You can choose to override the defaults configuration used by Priam by specifying properties. The defaults provided in this page are implemented by PriamConfiguration class. Refer below for properties that are specific to a instance types.
PriamConfiguration looks for properties specified in the PriamProperties SimpleDB domain. To create a property, create an item with the following attributes (the item name is not important, but it may be beneficial to set it to cluster name + property name):
- appId : Your cluster name
- property: Name of the property
- value: Property value
Cluster name is inferred from your ASG name( my_cluster). Multi zone clusters should have ASG suffixed with a zone identifier ‘-{zone}’ ( my_cluster-useast1a), i.e., {clustername}-{zone}.
Example: If you want to change the jmx port to 7200 for your cluster ‘my_cluster’, create the item:
-
Item name : my_clusterpriam.jmx.port
- appId : my_cluster
- property: priam.jmx.port
- value: 7200
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| priam.jmx.port | 7199 | JMX port |
| priam.thrift.port | 9160 | Thrift port |
| priam.storage.port | 7000 | Storage port used by Cassandra |
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| priam.clustername | cass_cluster | Name of the Cassandra cluster |
| priam.endpoint_snitch | org.apache.cassandra.locator.Ec2Snitch | End point snitch to be used in yaml |
| priam.multiregion.enable | false | Enables multi region if true |
| priam.zones.available | First 3 zones in the region | Comma separated list of zones where nodes are deployed. |
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| priam.memory.compaction.limit | 128 | MB |
| priam.compaction.throughput | 8 | MB/sec |
| priam.heap.size.$INSTANCETYPE | 8G | Cassandra heap size |
| priam.heap.newgen.size.$INSTANCETYPE | 2G | Cassandra New gen size |
| priam.direct.memory.size.$INSTANCETYPE | 5G | Cassandra direct mem size |
Note: For the last three properties, $INSTANCETYPE should be replaced by the type of the instance you are setting the property for (e.g. m1.small for small instances). The defaults for these properties are tuned to the m1.xlarge instance type. If running on a smaller instance type and the properties are not changed, Cassandra will not be able to start due to lack of memory.
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| priam.cass.home | /etc/cassandra | Cassandra home dir |
| priam.cass.startscript | /etc/init.d/cassandra start | Cassandra startup script |
| priam.cass.stopscript | /etc/init.d/cassandra stop | Cassandra stop script |
| priam.data.location | /var/lib/cassandra/data | Data directory |
| priam.cache.location | /var/lib/cassandra/saved_caches | Cache directory |
| priam.commitlog.location | /var/lib/cassandra/commitlog | Commit log directory |

| priam.backup.hour | 12 | Backup hour to run daily snapshot |
| priam.backup.incremental.enable | true | Enables incremental backup if true |

| priam.restore.prefix | Defaults to current cluster and backup bucket. | Prefix to be used for locating backups. |
| priam.restore.snapshot | Specifies the time range to be searched when restoring. Setting this param will trigger restore. | |
| priam.s3.bucket | cassandra-archive | S3 bucket used for backups |
| priam.s3.base_dir | backup | Specify a base prefix that will be used for all backups |
| priam.restore.threads | 8 | Number of restore threads to be used |
| priam.restore.closesttoken | false | If specified, a closes token is searched in the backups for restoring |
| priam.restore.keyspaces | Restores the specified keyspace. Do not set this to restore all keyspaces. | |
| priam.upload.throttle | defaults to Integer.MAX_VALUE | Throttle MB/sec for uploads |
