Subject:  Re: Unable to remove dead node from cluster.

The NPE throws when node tried to handleStateLeft, because it can not find the 
tokens associated with the node, can we just ignore the NPE and continue to 
remove the endpoint from the ring?

@Jeff, yeah, I run the nodetool grep, and in my case, some nodes return "301", 
and some nodes return "300". And 300 is the correct number of nodes in my 
cluster. 

So it does look like an inconsistent issue, can you open a jira for this? Also, 
I'm looking for a quick fix/patch for this.

A few other folks have reported issues with lingering dead nodes on large 
clusters - Jason Brown *just* gave an excellent gossip presentation at the 
summit regarding gossip optimizations for large clusters. 

Gossip is in the process of being refactored (here's at least one of the 
issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9667), but it would be 
worth opening an issue with as much information as you can provide to, at the 
very least, have information avaiable for others.

The stack trace is one similar to one I recall seeing recently, but don’t have 
in front of me. This is an outside chance that is not at all certain to be the 
case.

For EACH of the hundreds of nodes in your cluster, I suggest you run 

nodetool status | egrep “(^UN|^DN)" | wc -l 

and count to see if every node really has every other node in its ring 
properly. 

I suspect, but am not at all sure, that you have inconsistencies you’re not yet 
aware of (for example, if you expect that you have 100 nodes in the cluster, 
I’m betting that the query above returns 99 on at least one of the nodes).  If 
this is the case, please reply so that you and I can submit a Jira and compare 
our stack traces and we can find the underlying root cause of this together.

@Jeff, I just use jmx connect to one node, run the unsafeAssainateEndpoint, and 
pass in the "10.210.165.55" ip address.

Yes, we have hundreds of other nodes in the nodetool status output as well.

When you run unsafeAssassinateEndpoint, to which host are you connected, and 
what argument are you passing?

Are there other nodes in the ring that you’re not including in the ‘nodetool 
status’ output?

I have tried all of them, neither of them worked. 
1. decommission: the host had hardware issue, and I can not connect to it.
2. remove, there is not HostID, so the removenode did not work.
3. unsafeAssassinateEndpoint, it will throw NPE as I pasted before, can we fix 
it?

Thanks
Dikang.

Order is decommission, remove, assassinate.

Which have you tried?

Hi there, 

I have a dead node in our cluster, which is a wired state right now, and can 
not be removed from cluster.

The nodestatus shows:
Datacenter: DC1
===============
Status=Up/Down
|/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving
--  Address                          Load       Tokens  Owns    Host ID

                      r1

I tried the unsafeAssassinateEndpoint, but got exception like:
