No. I stopped the stress test before issuing decommission command. So, it was not under ANY load.
I waited for over an hour and nothing changed. Then , I turned on DEBUG in the log4j-server.properties and then restarted the Cassandra process . As soon as I restarted, the decommissioned node left the cluster and everything was back to normal. Have you seen this behaviour before?

Is the cluster under stress test load while you are doing the decommission? On Apr 12, 2011, at 6:53 PM, Baskar Duraikannu wrote: I have setup a 4 node cluster for testing. When I setup the cluster, I have setup initial tokens in such a way that each gets 25% of load and then started the node with autobootstrap=false. After all nodes are up, I loaded data using the stress test tool with replication factor of 3. As per of my testing, I am trying to remove one of the node using "nodetool decomission" but the node seems to be stuck in "leaving" status. How do I check whether it is doing any work at all?
