Are you move the node to a new machine or re-installing on the same machine ?
If it's the former then: * shut it down cleanly * copy all the data and config * update the yaml with the new IP for list_address, rpc_address and seed_list * restart the node The error you got says that the schema was not replicated. Check that the node is part of cluster and check for a split schema using cassandra-cli (FAQ on the wiki has help for split schema) Cheers ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Consultant New Zealand @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 27/06/2013, at 8:57 AM, Arindam Barua <aba...@247-inc.com> wrote: > > Thanks for your response. > > Are there any other general comments on the steps we are taking to > decommission and join back the node.
