Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-1938:
---------------------------------------------
Please see CASSANDRA-4071, which is exactly the problem you describe (but the
short version is, it's a problem we're aware of, but we don't know how to fix
it in a reasonable way yet).
> Use UUID as node identifiers in counters instead of IP addresses

> The use of IP addresses as node identifiers in the partition of a given
> counter is fragile. Changes of the node's IP addresses can result in data
> loss. This patch proposes to use UUIDs instead.
> NOTE: this breaks the on-disk file format (for counters)
