If you start the node again once the seed is up it will fail with a "Found 
system keyspace files, but they couldn't be loaded!" exception.

{code}
ERROR [main] 2016-05-16 20:59:17,285 CassandraDaemon.java:692 - Fatal exception

You have to completely wipe everything to try again.  Its not the end of the 
world, but it is different than in Cassandra 2.1 where you could just start the 
node again to retry the bootstrap.
