I've done that several times. Kill the process, restart it, let it sync, decommission.
You'll need enough space on the receiving nodes for the full set of data, on top of the other data that was already sent earlier, plus room to cleanup/compact it. Before you kill, check system.log to see if it died on anything. If so, the decommission process will never finish. If not, let it continue. Of particular note is that by default transferring large sstables will timeout. You can fix that by adjusting streaming_socket_timeout_in_ms to a sufficiently large value (I set it to a day). -Mark On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 9:28 AM, laxmikanth sadula <laxmikanth...@gmail.com> wrote: > I started decommssioned a node in our cassandra cluster. > But its taking too long time (more than 12 hrs) , so I would like to > restart(stop/kill the node & restart 'node decommission' again).. > > Does killing node/stopping decommission and restarting decommission will > cause any issues to cluster? > > Using c*-2.0.17 , 2 Data centers, each DC with 3 groups each , each group > with 3 nodes with RF-3 > > -- > Thanks...!
