Does anyone know what to do when such an event occurs? Does anyone know how this could happen?
I would have tried repairing the node with nodetool repair but that takes much too long… I need my cluster to work for our online system. At this point nothing is working. It’s like the whole cluster is paralysed. The only solution I see is to remove temporarily that node. Thanks for your comments.
