replace_token versus nodetool repair

[DE VITO Dominique <do...@thalesgroup.com>]

Hi,

Is "nodetool repair" only usable if the node to repair has a valid (= up-to-date with its neighbors) schema?

If the data records are completely broken on a node with <token>, is it valid to clean the (data) records and to execute replace_token=<token> on the *same* node?

Thanks.

Regards,
Dominique

If the node is in the cluster, it should have the correct schema. If
it doesn't have the correct schema, you should either wait until the
schema is received, or (if it's "stuck") wipe the schema on that node
and re-join the node.

Yes.
