The "Operations" page has been changed by piavlo: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations?action=diff&rev1=103&rev2=104 Since Cassandra 1.0 we can replace a dead node with a new one using the property "cassandra.replace_token=<Token>", This property can be set using -D option while starting cassandra demon process. (Note:This property will be taken into effect only when the node doesn't have any data in it, You might want to empty the data dir if you want to force the node replace.) + + (Note:Also this property will not be taken into effect if the node is listed as seed node in local cassandra.yaml, even if node has no data it will join the ring immediately and start serving read/writes right away , a situation you want to avoid.) You must use this property when replacing a dead node (If tried to replace an existing live node, the bootstrapping node will throw a Exception). The token used via this property must be part of the ring and the node have died due to various reasons.
