Robert Coli commented on CASSANDRA-5780:
----------------------------------------
{quote}Also, if the data directory is not altered in anyway, I wonder if there
is a concern there, too? Hope that helps.{quote}
There are some cases to be concerned about, yes. As a general statement, "old
sstables" coming back to life can be very bad or fatal for consistency.
[~jdsumsion] can you think of a rationale for not also truncating the data
columnfamilies? The data will be retained in a snapshot unless the operator has
specifically requested not snapshotting on truncate...

> Key: CASSANDRA-5780
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5780
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Tools
> Reporter: Peter Haggerty
> Priority: Trivial

> Fix For: 2.1.x

>
> Cassandra 1.2.6 ring of 12 instances, each with 256 tokens.
> Decommission 3 of the 12 nodes, one after another resulting a 9 instance ring.
> The 9 instances of cassandra that are in the ring all correctly report
> nodetool status information for the ring and have the same data.
> After the first node is decommissioned:
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-1st" reports 11 nodes
> After the second node is decommissioned:
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-1st" reports 11 nodes
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-2nd" reports 10 nodes
> After the second node is decommissioned:
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-1st" reports 11 nodes
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-2nd" reports 10 nodes
> "nodetool status" on "decommissioned-3rd" reports 9 nodes
> The storage load information is similarly stale on the various decommissioned
> nodes. The nodetool status and ring commands continue to return information
> as if they were part of a cluster and they appear to return the last
> information that they saw.
> In contrast the nodetool info command fails with an exception, which isn't
> ideal but at least indicates that there was a failure rather than returning
> stale information.
