Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-957:
---------------------------------------
What happens if I bring up a node with the same ip and bootstrap on but forget
the replace option? It looks like it will try to bootstrap to an auto picked
token. Am I reading that right?
What happens if I accidentally give the wrong token with the replace option? If
I accidentally give the token for a live node will it try to bootstrap to the
same position?

> Replacing a dead node with a new one is a common operation, but "nodetool
> removetoken" followed by bootstrap is inefficient (re-replicating data first
> to the remaining nodes, then to the new one) and manually bootstrapping to a
> token "just less than" the old one's, followed by "nodetool removetoken" is
> slightly painful and prone to manual errors.
> First question: how would you expose this in our tool ecosystem? It needs to
> be a startup-time option to the new node, so it can't be nodetool, and
> messing with the config xml definitely takes the "convenience" out. A
> one-off -DreplaceToken=XXY argument?
