Check the log on all the machines for ERROR messages. An error on any of the nodes could have caused the streaming to hang. nodetool netstats will let you know if there is a failed stream.
AFAIK if you restart the cass service on 1 it will forget it was leaving and rejoin in a normal state. cheers ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 8 Jul 2011, at 16:27, Casey Deccio wrote: > I've got a node that is stuck "Leaving" the ring.
