=== 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=", This property can be set using -D
option while starting cassandra demon process.
