Hi, We are testing Cassandra and tried to remove a node from the cluster using nodetool decomission. The node transferred the data, then "died" for about 20 minutes without responding, then came back to life with a load of 50-100, was in a heavy load during about 1 hour and then returned to normal load. It seems to have stopped receiving new data but it is still in the cluster.
The node we tried to remove is the third one: root@dc-cassandra-03:~# nodetool ring Note: Ownership information does not include topology, please specify a keyspace. Address DC Rack Status State Load Owns Token 113427455640312821154458202477256070484 10.70.147.62 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 7.14 GB 33.33% 0 10.208.51.64 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 3.68 GB 33.33% 56713727820156410577229101238628035242 10.190.207.185 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 3.54 GB 33.33% 113427455640312821154458202477256070484 It seems it is still part of the cluster. What should we do? decomission again? How can we know the current state of the cluster? Thanks!
