Bill Hathaway created CASSANDRA-5836: ----------------------------------------
Summary: Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention Key: CASSANDRA-5836 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5836 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Reporter: Bill Hathaway Priority: Minor The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped. If a user wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the seed list, and then start the bootstrap process. This seems like an unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed. I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed nodes up in a ring. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
