Right - it's just that the complication comes from the fact that he's using the same machine, presumably with the same IP. But if changing the IP is easy, it's probably the least risky replacement strategy. (Yes, this should definitely be easier. Maybe the most generally useful fix would be for Cassandra to support a node joining the wring in "write-only" mode. This would be useful in other cases, such as when you're trying to temporarily off-load a node by dissabling gossip). -- / Peter Schuller (@scode on twitter)
