Thanks for the help, this seems to have worked. Except that while adding the
new node we added the same token to a different IP (operational script
goofup) and brought the node up, so now the other nodes just had the message
that a new IP had taken over the token.
- So we brought it down and fixed it and it all came up fine.
- ran removetoken did not finish
- so ran removetoken force, that seemed to work
- Cleaned up the nodes
- Everything from the ring perspective appeared ok on all nodes
- except for this error message (which based on some thread it seemed
would go away) reported in this thread =>
http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/0-7-4-Replication-assertion-error-after-removetoken-removetoken-force-and-a-restart-td6311082.html
- So I restarted this one node that was complaining (this was not the
node that was replaced)
- But once this node was restarted, the ring command on it showed the old
single token IP (the one we removed).
- So I am running the removetoken again , been running for about 2-3
hours now.....
the ring shows

What are my choices here, how do I clean up the ring? The other 2 nodes show
the ring fine (not even aware of 189)
Thanks
