Hi,

I read in Cassandra architecture documentation that if a node dies and
there is some data in memtable which hasn't been written to the sstable,
the commit log replay happens (assuming the commit log had been flushed to
disk) when the node restarts and hence the data can be recovered.

However, I was wondering if a node is fully dead for some reason with
consistency level 1 (replication factor 3 but let's say it dies right after
it finishes a request and hence the data hasn't been replicated to other
nodes yet) and the data is only available in commit log on that node. Is
there a way to recover data from this node which includes both sstable and
commit log so that we can use it to replace it with a new node where we
could replay commit log to recover the data?

Thanks,
Preetika
