Bootstrapping to handle more failure
------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-3555
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3555
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.5
Reporter: Vijay
Assignee: Vijay
Fix For: 1.0.6
We might want to handle failures in bootstrapping:
1) When none of the Seeds are available to communicate then throw exception
2) When any one of the node which it is bootstrapping fails then try next in
the list (and if the list is exhausted then throw exception).
3) Clean all the existing files in the data Dir before starting just in case we
retry.
4) Currently when one node is down in the cluster the bootstrapping will fail,
because the bootstrapping node doesnt understand which one is actually down.
Also print the nt ring in the logs so we can troubleshoot later if it fails.
Currently if any one of the above happens the node is skipping the bootstrap or
hangs.
