Hi Tom, this sounds very much like my thread: "auto_bootstrap=false broken?"
Did you try booting the new node with survey-mode? I wanted to try this, but I am waiting for 2.0.17 to come out (survey mode is broken in earlier versions). Imho survey mode is what you (and me too) want: start a node, accepting writes, but not serving reads. I have not tested it yet, but I think it should work. Also the manual join mentioned in CASSANDRA-9667 sounds very interesting. kind regards, Christian On Mon, Sep 7, 2015 at 10:11 PM, Tom van den Berge <t...@drillster.com> wrote: > Running nodetool rebuild on a node that was started with join_ring=false > does not work, unfortunately.
