------------------------------------------
Summary: Patch to bring back replace_token
Key: CASSANDRA-6547
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6547
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Fabien Rousseau
This is a follow-up for CASSANDRA-5916 where option "-Dcassandra.replace_token"
was deprecated.
The attached patch is a tentative to bring it back, but the token(s) must
identify only one host and be an exact match (ie : all tokens of the host must
be specified).
How it works:
- after the shadow gossip round, it tries to find a host to replace which
matches exactly the specified tokens.
- then it set -Dcassandra.replace_address
- then, process is the same as replacing an host
For us, it is a lot easier to use replace_token than replace_address. (We
describe a cluster with a number of nodes and a list of tokens, and are in the
cloud...)
