you can either repair the existing data or wipe the node, remove it from the cluster, and rebootstrap. this has nothing to do with being seeds; bootstrapping is for adding new nodes to the cluster, doing it to a node that already has data on it is wrong. see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations -Jonathan
