Kurt Greaves commented on CASSANDRA-5836:
-----------------------------------------
{quote}OK, but this implies that you have to start the very first node
differently from the rest of the cluster. If you want to have 3 seed nodes,
what you do currently is just list all of them in configuration and deploy
nodes one by one, starting with the seeds, with identical config and you're
done.
With your proposed approach, there are two extra steps:
1. Deploy the very first seed node with a different config, i.e. only itself in
the seeds list.
2. After other seeds nodes are there (or all nodes are there), restart the
first node with the complete seeds list.

Getting back to this after being distracted for a while, actually not sure what
I was thinking there. It actually doesn't matter how many seeds the first node
has in its seed list so there is no special case there.
If SR ends and no seed can be contacted and the node is currently
uninitialised, but has itself as a seed, the node creates a cluster. This is
the existing behaviour and should work perfectly fine with the other changes
I've mentioned where any seed bootstraps.

> 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.
