I recently removed a node (with decommission) from our cluster. I added a couple new nodes and am now trying to rebalance the cluster using nodetool move.
However, netstats shows that the node being "moved" is trying to stream data to the node that I already decommissioned yesterday. The removed node was powered-off, taken out of dns, its IP is not even pingable. It was never a seed neither. This is cassandra 0.7.5 on 64bit linux. How do I tell the cluster that this node is gone? Gossip should have detected this. The ring commands shows the correct cluster IPs. Here is a portion of netstats. 10.46.108.102 is the node which was removed.
