Let me elaborate a bit. two node cluster node1 has token 0 node2 has token 85070591730234615865843651857942052864
node1 goes down perminently. do a nodetool move 0 on node2. monitor with ring... is in Moving state forever it seems. From: Poziombka, Wade L Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 4:29 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: nodetool move 0 gets stuck in "moving" state forever If the node with token 0 dies and we just want it gone from the cluster we would do a nodetool move 0. Then we monitor using nodetool ring it seems to be stuck on Moving forever. Any ideas?
