Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-10134:
-----------------------------------------
To mitigate the slow startup time, I think we can do a couple of things:
* If there is only one node in the seed list, and it's the local broadcast
address, skip the shadow round
* Otherwise, check for a {{-Dcassandra.fast_unsafe_join}} flag (or something
similar), and skip the shadow round if that's set. We could then set this flag
in ccm and/or the dtests that utilize multiple nodes.
Outside of tests, I don't think a 30s delay on starting a new cluster is
terrible. However, we should make sure to clearly document the new {{-D}} flag
(in NEWS.txt and elsewhere) so that others can use it for their tests as well.
Also, even though this is a bug fix, I'm a little nervous about putting it in
2.2 at this point (given that gossip changes are prone to gotcha's). What do
you think about 3.0+?

> Normally, when a node is started from a clean state with the same address as
> an existing down node, it will fail to start with an error like this:
> {noformat}
> ERROR [main] 2015-08-19 15:07:51,577 CassandraDaemon.java:554 - Exception
> encountered during startup
> java.lang.RuntimeException: A node with address /127.0.0.3 already exists,
> cancelling join. Use cassandra.replace_address if you want to replace this
> node.

> {noformat}
> However, if {{auto_bootstrap}} is set to false or the node is in its own seed
> list, it will not throw this error and will start normally. The new node
> then takes over the host ID of the old node (even if the tokens are
> different), and the only message you will see is a warning in the other
> nodes' logs:
> {noformat}
> logger.warn("Changing {}'s host ID from {} to {}", endpoint, storedId,
> hostId);
> {noformat}
> This could cause an operator to accidentally wipe out the token information
> for a down node without replacing it. To fix this, we should check for an
> endpoint collision even if {{auto_bootstrap}} is false or the node is a seed.
