Hi Guys,

Is it correct to assume that if you do a “nodetool drain” on a node and then 
shutdown a node, you can safely remove all commit logs on that node as long as 
all nodes are up? 

I have some VPS’s with low amounts of disk space that could do with it being 
recovered, I also assume this means startup time for that node will be 
drastically faster.

I have also experienced in the past, cases where if my tables had been altered, 
a restart would fail due to commit logs not being able to be replayed. I assume 
draining and removing the commit logs would be a good thing to do if you are 
worried about that bug occurring again (I don’t know if that bug was fixed or 
not).

Thanks,
Jacob
