Hi, We did this but with just two differences it wasn't 3.9 and and always a 3 .X version and we didn't keep the same ip.
We removed the dead node nodetool removenode Installed Cassandra and configured it to as a new node (we have a playbook for this) with the same conf that all the others. Run a repair on each node Run a cleanup on each node I found this procedure if you wanna keep the same ip but I never tried it. https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsReplaceNode.html Regards, Marco On Fri, Oct 26, 2018 at 6:31 AM Ashish Pandey <apandey...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Our Cassandra cluster uses Cassandra version 3.9.
