I did decommission of this node and I did all the steps mentioned except the -Dcassandra.replace_address and now it is streaming correctly!
So basically, if I want this new node as seed should I add its IP address after it joined the cluster and after - nodetool drain - restart cassandra? I deactivated the future repair happening in the cluster while this node is joining. When you add a node is it better to stop the repair process? Thank you very much Erick!
