Hello, I am running into an issue where *nodetool cleanup *fails to cleanup data. We are running 2.1.16 version of Cassandra.
[user@host ~]$ nodetool cleanup Aborted cleaning up atleast one column family in keyspace user, check server logs for more information. Aborted cleaning up atleast one column family in keyspace org, check server logs for more information. error: nodetool failed, check server logs -- StackTrace -- java.lang.RuntimeException: nodetool failed, check server logs at org.apache.cassandra.tools.NodeTool$NodeToolCmd.run(NodeTool.java:294) at org.apache.cassandra.tools.NodeTool.main(NodeTool.java:206) *Logs:* INFO [RMI TCP Connection(17)-x.x.x.x] 2017-05-05 04:04:07,987 CompactionManager.java:415 - Cleanup cannot run before a node has joined the ring INFO [RMI TCP Connection(17)-x.x.x.x] 2017-05-05 04:04:08,010 CompactionManager.java:415 - Cleanup cannot run before a node has joined the ring All the nodes in the cluster are up and running. We tried doing a rolling restart of all nodes and no luck. After looking at the Cassandra JIRA : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10991 looks like the issue is fixed with 2.2.6 and 3.0 version. While we have plans to upgrade to the latest versions(which might take longer time), does any know if there is any work around to mitigate the issue?
