----------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn't so much a problem with retrying the replace, as it is with the same
IP address (which won't work at all currently.) The reason for this is that by
using the same IP address, the replacing node itself changes the HOST_ID, and
then can't find the old one. It's not just as simple as not advertising a new
HOST_ID either, since by not having one but modifying STATUS we wipe out any
existing HOST_ID as well.

> If you try to replace_node an existing, live hostId, it will error out.
> However if you're using an existing IP to do this (as in, you chose the wrong
> uuid to replace on accident) then the newly generated hostId wipes out the
> old one in TMD, and when you do try to replace it replace_node will complain
> it does not exist. Examination of gossipinfo still shows the old hostId,
> however now you can't replace it either.
