Paulo Motta updated CASSANDRA-12485:
------------------------------------
Reviewer: (was: Paulo Motta)
> Always require replace_address to replace existing token
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-12485
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12485
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Distributed Metadata
> Reporter: Paulo Motta
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: lhf
>
> CASSANDRA-10134 prevented replace an existing node unless
> {{\-Dcassandra.replace_address}} or
> {{\-Dcassandra.allow_unsafe_replace=true}} is specified.
> We should extend this behavior to tokens, preventing a node from joining the
> ring if another node with the same token already existing in the ring, unless
> {{\-Dcassandra.replace_address}} or
> {{\-Dcassandra.allow_unsafe_replace=true}} is specified in order to avoid
> catastrophic scenarios.
> One scenario where this can easily happen is if you replace a node with
> another node with a different IP, and after some time you restart the
> original node by mistake. The original node will then take over the tokens of
> the replaced node (since it has a newer gossip generation).
