The "Operations" page has been changed by mkjellman: https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations?action=diff&rev1=110&rev2=111 === 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. + 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 `removenode` argument to remove the dead node from the ring. Once that process is complete (it involves streaming data that node contained from other nodes so this process can take a while, use nodetool netstats to monitor the progress of the streaming operation on other nodes), then bootstrap the new rebuilt 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.
