Maciek commented on CASSANDRA-5836:
-----------------------------------
I've also been pretty confused by this. Simplifying setup would make it less
likely for new operators to make mistakes, and allow them to have a better
first impression of the system. I hope the decision to mark this as wontfix is
revisited.
> Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Bill Hathaway
> Priority: Minor

> The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped. If a user
> wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed
> node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the
> seed list, and then start the bootstrap process. This seems like an
> unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed.
> I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a
> seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed
> nodes up in a ring.
