Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4162:
---------------------------------------------
bq. I want a reliable way to remove a node from the cluster and disable traffic
to it
Restarting with -Dcassandra.join_ring=false will do that.
> nodetool disablegossip does not prevent gossip delivery of writes via
> already-initiated hinted handoff

> Key: CASSANDRA-4162
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4162
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 1.0.9
> Environment: reported on IRC, believe it was a linux environment,
> nick "rhone", cassandra 1.0.8
> Reporter: Robert Coli
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gossip
>
> This ticket derives from #cassandra, aaron_morton and I assisted a user who
> had run "disablethrift" and "disablegossip" and was confused as to why he was
> seeing writes to his node.
> Aaron and I went through a series of debugging questions, user verified that
> there was traffic on the gossip port. His node was showing as down from the
> perspective of other nodes, and nodetool also showed that gossip was not
> active.
> Aaron read the code and had the user turn debug logging on. The user saw
> Hinted Handoff messages being delivered and Aaron confirmed in the code that
> a hinted handoff delivery session only checks gossip state when it first
> starts. As a result, it will continue to deliver hints and disregard gossip
> state on the target node.
> per nodetool docs
> "
> disablegossip - Disable gossip (effectively marking the node dead)
> "
> I believe most people will be using disablegossip and disablethrift for
> operational reasons, and propose that they do not expect HH delivery to
> continue, via gossip, when they have run "disablegossip".
