I'm on 0.8.4 I have removed a dead node from the cluster using nodetool removetoken command, and moved one of the remaining nodes to rebalance the tokens. Everything looks fine when I run nodetool ring now, as it only lists the remaining 2 nodes and they both look fine, owning 50% of the tokens.
However, I can still see it being considered as part of the cluster from the Cassandra-cli (192.168.20.1 being the removed node) and I'm worried that the cluster is still queuing up hints for the node, or any other issues it may cause: Cluster Information: Snitch: org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleSnitch Partitioner: org.apache.cassandra.dht.RandomPartitioner Schema versions: dcc8f680-caa4-11e0-0000-553d4dced3ff: [192.168.20.2, 192.168.20.3] UNREACHABLE: [192.168.20.1] Do I need to do something else to completely remove this node? Thanks, Bryce
