Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "Operations" page has been changed by mkjellman: https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations?action=diff&rev1=108&rev2=109 The status of move and balancing operations can be monitored using `nodetool` with the `netstat` argument. (Cassandra 0.6.* and lower use the `streams` argument). === Replacing a Dead Node === + ==== For versions 1.2.0 and above ==== + Token replace (introduced in CASSANDRA-957) does not work in 1.2.0 and above and should not be used while replacing a dead node. When dealing with node failure, use `nodetool` with the `removetoken` argument to remove the dead node from the ring. Once that process is complete, then bootstrap the new node back into the cluster. + + ==== For versions 1.1.11 and older ==== 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.)
