Christopher Licata commented on CASSANDRA-12485: ------------------------------------------------- [~jkni], I ran {{ant clean jar}} within the CASSANDRA_DIR that I cloned from [here|https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cassandra.git]. Do I have to be in a specific directory (other than the root cassandra directory) that I need to run {{ant clean jar}} within or perhaps I am just running the wrong command in general? > Always require replace_address to replace existing token > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-12485 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12485 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Distributed Metadata > Reporter: Paulo Motta > Priority: Minor > Labels: lhf > > CASSANDRA-10134 prevented replace an existing node unless > {{\-Dcassandra.replace_address}} or > {{\-Dcassandra.allow_unsafe_replace=true}} is specified. > We should extend this behavior to tokens, preventing a node from joining the > ring if another node with the same token already existing in the ring, unless > {{\-Dcassandra.replace_address}} or > {{\-Dcassandra.allow_unsafe_replace=true}} is specified in order to avoid > catastrophic scenarios. > One scenario where this can easily happen is if you replace a node with > another node with a different IP, and after some time you restart the > original node by mistake. The original node will then take over the tokens of > the replaced node (since it has a newer gossip generation). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
