The first thing I can think of is the initial_token for the node must be a valid token according to the configured partitioner, as the tokens created by the partitioner are the things stored the distributed hash tree. If you had a partitioner per KS you would need to configure the initial_token

Thats just a warning, it should keep trying to connect. Does it make any progress ? After 8 attempts it should fail with an error. With the debug option you should get a full stack trace printed if it fails, can you send that along as well. It's probably some sort of config problem. Cheers

Thank you. You have been very helpful. We stored only one day worth of data for now. However, we want to store 5 days worth of data eventually. That is 5 times more disk space. That is our main reason for us to look at older SSTables that appears to be holding only tombstones. - yuki ___

You should have gotten an error from the CLI saying it cannot parse hex bytes, because it would now know that the key you are passing is a utf8 / ascii string to be converted into a bytes. It's throwing on the 0.8 head, but not in the release. Will try to work out why, anyway it should do this
