Paulo Motta commented on CASSANDRA-12296:
-----------------------------------------
I wonder if this is really a bug, given that we recommend users to switch their
keyspaces to use {{NetworkTopologyStrategy}} [before performing a
rebuild|https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/operations/ops_add_dc_to_cluster_t.html]:
bq. Ensure that you are using NetworkTopologyStrategy for all of your
keyspaces.
But perhaps we can indeed update the message to make this more clear.

> Key: CASSANDRA-12296
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12296
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jim Witschey
>
> This came up in discussion of CASSANDRA-11687. {{nodetool rebuild}} was
> failing in a dtest. [~pauloricardomg] explained:
> bq. before [CASSANDRA-11848] the local node could be considered a source,
> while now sources are restricted only to dc2, so since {{system_auth}} uses
> {{SimpleStrategy}} depending on the token arrangement there could or not be
> sources from dc2. Fix is to either use
> {{-Dcassandra.consistent.rangemovement=false}} or update {{system_auth}} to
> use {{NetworkTopologyStrategy}} with 2 dcs..
> This is, at the very least, a UX bug. When {{rebuild}} fails, it fails with
> {code}
> nodetool: Unable to find sufficient sources for streaming range
> (-3287869951390391138,-1624006824486474209] in keyspace system_auth with
> RF=1.If you want to ignore this, consider using system property
> -Dcassandra.consistent.rangemovement=false.
> {code}
> which suggests that a user should give up consistency guarantees when it's
> not necessary.
