I believe you are talking about CASSANDRA-6685, which was introduced in 1.2.15.
I'm trying to add a node to a production ring. I have added nodes previously just fine. However, this node had hardware issues during a previous bootstrap, and now even a clean bootstrap seems to be having problems. Does the ring somehow remember about this node and if so can I make it forget about it? Decommission/removenode does not work on a node that hasn't yet bootstrapped.

By the time the hardware issue was fixed a week later, all other nodes were added successfully, cleaned, repaired. The disks on this node were untouched, and when the node was started back up, it detected an interrupted bootstrap, and attempted to bootstrap. However, after ~24 hrs it was still stuck in the 'JOINING' state according to nodetool netstats on that node, even though no streams were flowing to/from it. Also, it did not appear in nodetool status in any way/form (not even as JOINING). >From couple of observed thread dumps, the stack of the thread blocked during >bootstrap is at [1]. Since the node wasn't making any progress, I ended up stopping Cassandra, cleaning up the data and commitlog directories, and attempted a fresh bootstrap. Nodetool netstats immediately reported a whole bunch of streams queued up, and data started streaming to the node. The data directory quickly grew to 18 GB (the other nodes had ~25GB, but we have lot of data with low TTLs). However, the node ended up being in the earlier reported state, i.e. nodetool netstats doesn't have anything queued, but still reports the JOINING state, even though it's been > 24 hrs. There are no other ERRORS in the logs, and new data being written to the cluster makes it to this node just fine, triggering compactions, etc from time to time. Any help is appreciated.
