Hello Kurt, I realized it was because of RAM shortage which caused the issue. I bumped up the memory of the machine and node bootstrap started but this time i hit this bug of cassandra 3.9:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12905 I tried running nodetool bootstrap resume multiple times but every time it fails with exception after completing around 963% https://gist.github.com/chhetripradeep/93567ad24c44ba72d0753d4088a10ce4 Do you think there is some workaround for this. Or do you suggest upgrading to v3.11 which has this fix. Also, can we just upgrade the cassandra from 3.9 -> 3.11 in rolling fashion or do we need to take care of something in case we have to upgrade. Thanks.
