Hi All I saw something curious when I restarted our cluster following a full shutdown whereby the result of calling nodetool getendpoints showed inconsistent results as each node was started in turn.
Prior to shutdown, we had the following: $ nodetool status Datacenter: dc1 =============== Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving -- Address Load Tokens Owns (effective) Host ID Rack UN 10.0.3.11 46.53 GiB 256 51.1% 35dcbc33-efb3-4c98-9063-aa451e6e0c7f rack1 UN 10.0.3.12 44.44 GiB 256 48.9% 8c13e94a-2c8e-43a3-9fb0-11d4b5b4606f rack1 UN 10.0.3.21 41.42 GiB 256 45.4% 6b619cc8-e398-4e48-8542-09d84c3710f6 rack2 UN 10.0.3.22 49.55 GiB 256 54.6% 962b04ee-e135-4ed5-87f9-7463c0b18860 rack2 UN 10.0.3.31 45.76 GiB 256 50.2% 2a90ac41-a741-472f-8c74-a382a24eb65f rack3 UN 10.0.3.32 45.2 GiB 256 49.8% e7dc5e68-bbde-4f6b-9426-43cf13c679c8 rack3 $ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.12 10.0.3.22 10.0.3.32 As each node was started up, the results differed as follows: administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.11 administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.11 10.0.3.12 administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.11 10.0.3.12 10.0.3.21 administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.11 10.0.3.12 10.0.3.22 administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.12 10.0.3.22 10.0.3.31 administrator@OspreyProSRV1-R1N1:~$ nodetool getendpoints ospreypro Users 39befa1f-dee1-48c4-9702-e8e8332b84df 10.0.3.12 10.0.3.22 10.0.3.32 Eventually, the endpoints settles on the expected values. Seeing as the token ranges are stored in system.peers (stored on each node), why would I see different endpoints as I do?
