The "Operations" page has been changed by JonathanEllis. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations?action=diff&rev1=14&rev2=15 -------------------------------------------------- Cassandra is smart enough to transfer data from the nearest source node(s), if your !EndpointSnitch is configured correctly. So, the new node doesn't need to be in the same datacenter as the primary replica for the Range it is bootstrapping into, as long as another replica is in the datacenter with the new one. == Removing nodes entirely == - You can take a node out of the cluster with `nodeprobe decommission` to a live node, or `nodeprobe removetoken` to remove a dead one. + You can take a node out of the cluster with `nodeprobe decommission` to a live node, or `nodeprobe removetoken` (to any other machine) to remove a dead one. Again, no data is removed automatically, so if you want to put the node back into service and you don't need the data on it anymore, it should be removed manually.
