Oh ok, so since i need to do replace partitionning on all other nodes, i suppose tabletserver5 will get populated when i delete other tabletservers one by one.
And indeed, now i see from the webUI, that all my tablets still have 3 replicas, so Kudu must have ensured a replication of 3 when tabletserver5 was considered dead. (i wonder how much time after though) Yet, is it possible to have the masters forget about the dead tablet server UUID, so that it does not show up anymore in the webUI ? Or will it disapperar after a while or a Kudu restart maybe ? 2017-03-09 17:48 GMT+01:00 Jean-Daniel Cryans <jdcry...@apache.org>: > Hi Alexandre, > > Tablet replicas are not tied to a UUID, so removing or reusing one > wouldn't achieve what you want.
