Only if gc_grace_seconds havent passed since the failure. If your machine is down for more than gc_grace_seconds you need to delete the data directory and go with auto bootstrap = true .

You can set auto_bootstrap to false in Cassandra.yaml and once the cassandra is rebooted, you should run repair to fix the inconsistent data.
