Here is what I *think* is going on, if Brandon is around he may be able to help out.
The old nodes are being included in the Gossip rounds, because Gossiper.doGossipToUnreachableMember() just looks at the nodes that are unreachable. It does not check if they have been removed from the cluster. Information about the removed nodes is kept by gossip so that if a node is removed while it is down it will shut down when restarted. This information *should* stay in gossip for 3 days. In your gossip info, the last long on the STATUS lines is the expiry time for this info… /10.10.0.24 STATUS:removed,127605887595351923798765477786913079296,1336530323263 REMOVAL_COORDINATOR:REMOVER,0 /10.10.0.22 STATUS:removed,42535295865117307932921825928971026432,1336529659203 REMOVAL_COORDINATOR:REMOVER,113427455640312814857969558651062452224 For the first line it's In [48]: datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1336530323263/1000) Out[48]: datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 9, 14, 25, 23) So that's good. The Gossip round will remove the 0.24 and 0.22 nodes from the local state if the expiry time has passed, and the node is marked as dead and it's not in the token ring. You can see if the node thinks 0.24 and 0.22 are up by looking getSimpleStates() on the FailureDetectorMBean. (I use jmxterm to do this sort of thing) The other thing that can confuse things is the gossip generation. If your old nodes were started with a datetime in the future that can muck things up. The simple to try is starting the server with the -Dcassandra.join_ring=false JVM option. This will force the node to get the ring info from othernodes. Check things with nodetool gossip info to see if the other nodes tell it about the old ones again. Sorry, gossip can be tricky to diagnose over email. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 12/06/2012, at 10:33 PM, Nicolas Lalevée wrote: > I have one dirty solution to try: bring data-2 and data-4 back up and down > again.
