--------------------------------------
Summary: Add a more ops friendly replace_address flag
Key: CASSANDRA-7356
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7356
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Richard Low
Doing a host replacement with cassandra.replace_address works well, but it is
operationally difficult because the flag needs clearing once the replace is
successful. Most people will launch through some scripts so remembering to
clear the flag is a pain. Forgetting means the node won't come up on a restart.
We should have a flag like cassandra.replace_address_first_boot that works the
same as auto_bootstrap/initial_token: it is totally ignored if the node has
successfully bootstrapped but on starting from a clean disk it will work as the
existing cassandra.replace_address.
