Restore snapshots to another cluster (migration)
source: Scylla v. 4.4.1 on Kubernetes, 4 nodes e.g. a1,a2,a3,a4
target: Scylla v. 5.4.6 - no Kubernetes installation 4 nodes e.g. b1,b2,b3,b4
Steps:
- we built a cluster with the same number of nodes
- the number of tokens is the same on the source and on the new installation
- we took a snapshot of the table in nodetool
- create the table manually (on new Scylla)
- we copied the snapshot to the new Scylla to the upload directory: snapshot from a1->b1, a2->b2, a3->b3, a4->b4
- then on each node: nodetool refresh keyspace_name table_name -las
- nodetool cleanup keyspace_name
and... the number of records in the source is much larger than in the target instance.
Where is the mistake?
