I thought the same that the decommission would complete the removal of a node. I have heard something said about a 72 hour window, I’m not sure if that pertains to this version.

I thought decommission would ultimately remove the node from the cluster because the token(s) should be removed from the ring and data should be streamed to new owners. “DN” is IMHO not a state where the node should end up in.

The node completed the decommission process and is no longer communicating with the rest of the cluster. However when I run a nodetool status on any node in the cluster it shows the node as ‘DN’. Why is this and should I just run a removenode now?
