Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6961:
---------------------------------------------
Hmm, I can't reproduce that, even wiping the node before starting it with
join_ring=false:
{noformat}
[2014-04-04 21:51:30,888] Repair command #1 finished
{noformat}
and nodetool exits.
> nodes should go into hibernate when join_ring is false

> The impetus here is this: a node that was down for some period and comes back
> can serve stale information. We know from CASSANDRA-768 that we can't just
> wait for hints, and know that tangentially related CASSANDRA-3569 prevents us
> from having the node in a down (from the FD's POV) state handle streaming.
> We can *almost* set join_ring to false, then repair, and then join the ring
> to narrow the window (actually, you can do this and everything succeeds
> because the node doesn't know it's a member yet, which is probably a bit of a
> bug.) If instead we modified this to put the node in hibernate, like
> replace_address does, it could work almost like replace, except you could run
> a repair (manually) while in the hibernate state, and then flip to normal
> when it's done.
> This won't prevent the staleness 100%, but it will greatly reduce the chance
> if the node has been down a significant amount of time.
