Hello, I am using Cassandra 1.2.2 on a 4 node test cluster with vnodes. I waited for over a week to insert lots of data into the cluster. During the end of the process one of the nodes had a hardware fault.
I have fixed the hardware fault but the filing system on that node is corrupt so I'll have to reinstall the OS and cassandra. I can think of two ways of reintegrating the host into the cluster 1) shrink the cluster to three nodes and add the node into the cluster 2) Add the node into the cluster without shrinking I'm not sure of the best approach to take and I'm not sure how to achieve each step. Can anybody help? -- Thanks Jabbar Azam
