The Conf file in the installation directory contains all the configuration files that you configure. Let's divide the configurations in to sections to understand them better:
The following properties must be shown in the next lines:
- cluster_name: The name of your cluster.
- seeds: A comma separated list of the IP addresses of your cluster seeds. These nodes are used to help gossip protocol, which checks the health of the nodes.
Two or three nodes are sufficient to perform this role. Also, use the same seeds node in your whole cluster.
- listen_address: The IP address of your node.This is what allows other nodes to communicate with this node, so it is important that you change it.
- Never set listen_address to 0.0.0.0.
