Hi Aaron,
Below is the reposted gossipinfo on a fresh 6 node cluster for which I
stop/started all nodes one by one ~12hours ago,
As you can see gossipinfo reports on 11 nodes, but what bothers me is
why it reports STATUS:NORMAL for all of them
and decides that non existing node is UP just o announce it's dead a few
seconds later?
Also the number of reported nodes in each gossipinfo invocation can
differ - probably accordingly to nodes detected UP & DOWN all the time.
Besides this the cluster seems to be working properly , so I understand
I can ignore these UPs & DOWNs - but it feels wrong
and I'm interested to understand what exactly makes the not existing
nodes appear wrongly as UP again.
The nodes which are real have
SCHEMA:adbf19a0-934e-11e1-0000-8b8140c3b9f5 - others are unexisting nodes.

Gossip information about a node can stay in the cluster for up to 3
days. How long has this been going on for ?
I'm unsure if this is expected behaviour. But it sounds like Gossip is
kicking out the phantom node correctly.
Can you use nodetool gossipinfo on the nodes to capture some artefacts
while it is still running?
How come the old ip 10.63.14.214 still popup as UP and then declared
as DEAD again, an so on and on?
I think this is gossip bouncing information about the node around.
Once it has been observed as dead for 3 days it should be purged.
Another question, if node is recognised as new (due to ip change) but
with same token - will other nodes stream the hinted handoffs to it?
Hints are stored against the token, not the end point address. When a
node comes up the process is reversed and the end point is mapped to
it's (new) token.
And is there way to tell cassandra also use names and if ip changes
but node name is the same and resolves to the new ip then the cluster
treat it as old node?
Not that I am aware of. It's designed to handle IP addresses changing.
AFAIK the log messages are not indicative of a fault. Instead they
indicate something odd happening with Gossip that is being correctly
handled.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
We have a cassandra cluster in ec2.
If i stop a node and start it - as a result the node ip changes. The
node is recognised as NEW node and is declared as replacing the
previous node with same token.(But this is the same node of course)
In this specific case the node ip before stop/start was 10.63.14.214
and new ip is 10.54.81.14.
And even that the cluster and node seems to be working fine for more
than a day after the stop/start of this node, I see the following
loop of messages ~ once every minute.

I know since this is ec2 other node with same ip can come UP, but
i've verified and there is no such node and it certainly does not run
cassandra :)
I stop/started another node and observe similar behaviour.
This is version 1.0.8
Another question, if node is recognised as new (due to ip change) but

And is there way to tell cassandra also use names and if ip changes
