Makes sense - I will confirm. Thanks again for the help. Cheers, Eric

And if it can, what do I need to do to reach such a blissful state? In general applications running within the JVM are unable to recover when the JVM Garbage Collection process has failed in a catastrophic fashion. This is almost certainly the error condition you are triggering, which is why your Cassandra node does not recover. To confirm whether this is the case, enable more verbose GC logging and/or consult existing JVM GC log messages in system.log. =Rob
