Just wondering.. might I be able to retried the 'lost' intital_token of the node I want to remove by going:
[root@beta-new:~] #nodetool ring | grep 10.10.1.102 | head -1 107.170.175.102 rack1 Down Normal 123.41 KB 32.19% -9208584805646615844 Then 1) place that token in the cassandra.yaml of a new node with a new IP as -9208584805646615844 -1 2) set auto_bootstrap in the cassandra.yaml 3) once the node boots run 'nodetool removetoken -9208584805646615844' 4) run nodetool cleanup Would this be the way to get out of this bind? Just want to be sure I understand the process.
