The "Operations" page has been changed by RobertColi. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations?action=diff&rev1=56&rev2=57 -------------------------------------------------- == Moving or Removing nodes == === Removing nodes entirely === - You can take a node out of the cluster with `nodetool decommission` to a live node, or `nodetool removetoken` (to any other machine) to remove a dead one. This will assign the ranges the old node was responsible for to other nodes, and replicate the appropriate data there. + You can take a node out of the cluster with `nodetool decommission` to a live node, or `nodetool removetoken` (to any other machine) to remove a dead one. This will assign the ranges the old node was responsible for to other nodes, and replicate the appropriate data there. If `decommission` is used, the data will stream from the decommissioned node. If `removetoken` is used, the data will stream from the remaining replicas. No data is removed automatically from the node being decommissioned, so if you want to put the node back into service at a different token on the ring, it should be removed manually.
