Replacing dead node when num_tokens is used

[Jan Kesten]

Hello,

while trying out cassandra I read about the steps necessary to replace a 
dead node. In my test cluster I used a setup using num_tokens instead of 
initial_tokens. How do I replace a dead node in this scenario?


Thanks,
Jan

AFAIK you just fire up the new one and let nature take it's course :) 
http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/operations/add_replace_nodes#replace-node

i.e. you do not need to use -Dcassandra.replace_token. 

Hope that helps.

Hello Aaron,

thanks for your reply.

Found it just an hour ago on my own, yesterday I accidentally looked at 
the 1.0 docs. Right now my replacement node is streaming from the others 
- than more testing can follow.


Thanks again,
Jan
