Hi, So, here's the backstory:
We were running Cassandra 0.7.4 and at one point in time had a node in the ring at 10.84.73.18. We removed this node from the ring successfully in 0.7.4. It stopped showing in the nodetool ring command. But occasionally we'd still get weird log entries about failing to write/read to IP 10.84.73.18. We upgraded to Cassandra 0.8.4. Now, nodetool ring shows this old node: 10.84.73.18 datacenter1 rack1 Down Leaving ? 6.71% 32695837177645752437561450928649262701 So I started a nodetool removetoken on 32695837177645752437561450928649262701 last Friday. It's still going strong this morning, on day 5: ./bin/nodetool -h 10.84.73.47 -p 8080 removetoken status RemovalStatus: Removing token (32695837177645752437561450928649262701). Waiting for replication confirmation from [/10.84.73.49,/10.84.73.48,/10.84.73.51]. Should I just be patient? Or is something really weird with this node? Thanks- ryan
