Ryan King commented on CASSANDRA-957:
-------------------------------------
It would be easier if a node could start without joining the ring:
CASSANDRA-526.
> convenience workflow for replacing dead node
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-957
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-957
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: Core, Tools
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Fix For: 0.8

>
> Replacing a dead node with a new one is a common operation, but "nodetool
> removetoken" followed by bootstrap is inefficient (re-replicating data first
> to the remaining nodes, then to the new one) and manually bootstrapping to a
> token "just less than" the old one's, followed by "nodetool removetoken" is
> slightly painful and prone to manual errors.
> First question: how would you expose this in our tool ecosystem? It needs to
> be a startup-time option to the new node, so it can't be nodetool, and
> messing with the config xml definitely takes the "convenience" out. A
> one-off -DreplaceToken=XXY argument?
