Hi all I'm running Cassandra 1.0.11 on Ubuntu 11.10.
I've got a ghost node which keeps showing up on my ring. A node living on IP 10.16.128.210 and token 0 died and had to be replaced. I replaced it with a new node, IP 10.16.128.197 and again token 0 with a "-Dcassandra.replace_token=0" at startup. This all went well but now I'm seeing the following weirdness constantly reported in the log files around the ring: INFO [GossipTasks:1] 2012-10-18 13:39:22,441 Gossiper.java (line 632) FatClient /10.16.128.210 has been silent for 30000ms, removing from gossip INFO [GossipStage:1] 2012-10-18 13:40:25,933 Gossiper.java (line 838) Node /10.16.128.210 is now part of the cluster INFO [GossipStage:1] 2012-10-18 13:40:25,934 Gossiper.java (line 804) InetAddress /10.16.128.210 is now UP INFO [GossipStage:1] 2012-10-18 13:40:25,937 StorageService.java (line 1017) Nodes /10.16.128.210 and /10.16.128.197 have the same token 0.
