Just run nodetool rebuild on the new node 

If you assassinate it now you violate consistency for your most recent writes

That's what nodetool assassinte will do.

Is it possible for me to remove the node from the cluster i.e. to undo this mess and get the cluster operating again?

You can leave it in the seed list of the other nodes, just make sure it's not included in this node's seed list.  However, if you do decide to fix the issue with the racks first assassinate this node (nodetool assassinate <ip>), and update the rack name before you restart.

It is also in the seeds list for the other nodes. Should I remove it from those, restart them one at a time, then restart it?

/etc/cassandra # grep -i bootstrap *
doesn't show anything so I don't think I have auto_bootstrap false.

Thanks very much for the help.

Just remove it from the seed list in the cassandra.yaml file and restart the node.  Make sure that auto_bootstrap is set to true first though.

So likely because I made it a seed node when I added it to the cluster it didn't do the bootstrap process. How can I recover this?

Yes replication factor is 3.

I ran nodetool repair -pr on all the nodes (one at a time) and am still having issues getting data back from queries.

I did make the new node a seed node.

Re "rack4": I assumed that was just an indication as to the physical location of the server for redundancy. This one is separate from the others so I used rack4.

I'm assuming that your replication factor is 3.  If that's the case, did you intentionally put this node in rack 4?  Typically, you want to add nodes in multiples of your replication factor in order to keep the "racks" balanced.  In other words, this node should have been added to rack 1, 2 or 3. 

Having said that, you should be able to easily fix your problem by running a nodetool repair -pr on the new node.

Hi All

I recently added a node to my 3 node Cassandra 4.0.5 cluster and now many reads are not returning rows! What do I need to do to fix this? There weren't any errors in the logs or other problems that I could see. I expected the cluster to balance itself but this hasn't happened (yet?). The nodes are similar so I have num_tokens=256 for each. I am using the Murmur3Partitioner.

This is causing a serious production issue. Please help if you can.
