[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-665) Persist token ring across cluster restarts

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-665?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12796295#action_12796295 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-665:
------------------------------------------

The naive solution of just using the IP->token mapping wil already persist trades this problem for a new one: it would become difficult to change the IP of an existing node.  Granted, this is a rare operate -- but so is shutting down the entire cluster.

One way to address this is using UUIDs for identity (rather than IP, directly) and mapping UUID -> token, UUID -> IP separately.

> This prevents users from shooting their foot by shutting down a cluster, then restarting it with a subset of the former nodes.
