Thanks Mark,

A pretty late follow up on the story but here is the end of my experience.

I had a crash on one of my nodes which happened to freeze the handoffs. I
ended up stopping and marking the node which was in the "leaving" state and
then running it back up. Finally when a added a fifth node, everything went
back to normal. So far, no loss of data have been spotted.

Out of curiosity, "stopping a node that is leaving, marking it down and
running it back up" resets the leaving state. Would you consider this a
risky operation?
