In the below "nodetool ring" output, machine 18 was told to loadbalance over an hour ago. It won't actually leave the ring. When I first told it to loadbalance, the cluster was under heavy write load; I've turned off the write load, but the node won't actually leave, still. Help?
(It also collected 3.6G of load even though automatic bootstrapping is disabled -- but this node had belonged to the cluster before, so maybe cleaning out /var/lib/cassandra/* wasn't enough to prevent the node from rejoining and taking data responsibility?) $ nt ring Address Status State Load Token 170141183460469231731687303715884105727 X.22 Up Normal 561.98 GB 42535295865117307932921825928971026431 X.18 Up Leaving 3.68 GB 57974296897141728657026715086733697169 X.21 Up Normal 523.78 GB 85070591730234615865843651857942052862 X.20 Up Normal 539.24 GB 127605887595351923798765477786913079293 X.19 Up Normal 505.12 GB 170141183460469231731687303715884105727 $ nodetool -h X.18 netstats Mode: Leaving: streaming data to other nodes Nothing streaming to /X.21 Nothing streaming to /X.20 Not receiving any streams.
