[jira] [Resolved] (CASSANDRA-5836) Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention

Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-5836.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The list of special cases here is complex enough without adding more.  Tweaking a config file (no restart is required) doesn't seem unreasonable.

> The current logic doesn't allow a seed node to be bootstrapped.  If a user wants to bootstrap a node configured as a seed (for example to replace a seed node via replace_token), they first need to remove the node's own IP from the seed list, and then start the bootstrap process.  This seems like an unnecessary step since a node never uses itself as a seed.
> I think it would be a better experience if the logic was changed to allow a seed node to bootstrap without manual intervention when there are other seed nodes up in a ring.
