Oleg Anastasyev commented on CASSANDRA-8138:
--------------------------------------------
This is because info about tokens, host id and DC:RACK of the dead node from
system tables are loaded only into TokenMetadata on startup, but not to
gossip's state. Loading code only calls Gossip.addSavedEndpoint(InetAddr) ,
which only adds an inet address of the dead node with generation 0.
If dead node did not participated in gossip since restart, there are no TOKENS,
HOST_ID, etc app states for it in EndpointState.
But replace_node, uses gossip shadow round to detect neccessary information
about dead node, so it can replace it. And all it can get from gossip - is just
its inet address. And actually there is a bug in Gossip.examineGossiper, which
prevents this info to be sent to a replacing node as well, so in fact replacing
node gets no information on this dead node at all, like it never existed
before.
I believe the same would apply to a bootrsrapping node, if there was full
cluster restart after some node gone dead and a new node is being added to a
cluster. And it would lead to wrong token metadata at freshly bootsrapped node
(did not tested this case, through).
> replace_address cannot find node to be replaced node after seed node restart

> Although neccessary information is saved in system tables on seed nodes, it

> Attached patch loads all information from system tables to gossip with
> generation 0 and fixes some bugs around this info on shadow gossip round.
