Robert Stupp commented on CASSANDRA-5836:
-----------------------------------------
Don't assume that a new cluster is empty or that it's safe to assume that the
first ever seed node has no data. If authentication is enabled, a default user
is created. It would be very surprising for users ("can't login with cassandra
anymore!") and actually a real security issue, if that user is recreated (if it
was dropped) or the password changed back to the default.
> Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention

> Reporter: Bill Hathaway
> Priority: Minor

> The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped. If a user
> wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed
> node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the
> seed list, and then start the bootstrap process. This seems like an
> unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed.
> I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a
> seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed
> nodes up in a ring.
