Hi John,
Was the cluster running ok before decommissioning the node? Why were you decommissioning the node? Were you upgrading from 3.11.1 to 3.11.4?

Could I upgrade this node to 3.11.4 and restart it? Some other nodes which are still receiving files appear to do very little to no auto-compaction from nodetool tpstats. Should I wait for streaming to complete or should I upgrade these nodes as well and restart them? What would happen if I bounce such a node? will the whole process of decommissioning fail? Do you recommend to eventually do a rolling upgrade to 3.11.4 or choose another version? Thanks in advance for your help, John Zaf
