If a node goes down entirely, then you have two options: + 1. (Recommended approach) Bring up the replacement node with a new IP address, and !AutoBootstrap set to true in storage-conf.xml. This will place the replacement node in the cluster and find the appropriate position automatically. Then the bootstrap process begins. While this process runs, the node will not receive reads until finished. - 1. (Recommended approach) Run `nodeprobe removetoken` on all live nodes. You will need to supply the token of the dead node. You can obtain this by running `nodeprobe ring` on any live node to find the token (Unless there was some kind of outage, and the others came up but not the down one). - - Next, bring up the replacement node with a new IP address, and !AutoBootstrap set to true in storage-conf.xml. This will place the replacement node in the cluster and find the appropriate position automatically. Then the bootstrap process begins. While this process runs, the node will not receive reads until finished. + Once this process is finished on the replacement node, run `nodeprobe removetoken` on all live nodes. You will need to supply the token of the dead node. You can obtain this by running `nodeprobe ring` on any live node to find the token (Unless there was some kind of outage, and the others came up but not the down one). 1. (Advanced approach) Bring up a replacement node with the same IP and token as the old, and run `nodeprobe repair`. Until the repair process is complete, clients reading only from this node may get no data back. Using a higher !ConsistencyLevel on reads will avoid this. You can obtain the old token by running `nodeprobe ring` on any live node to find the token (Unless there was some kind of outage, and the others came up but not the down one).
