[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3242) Nodes which are not in the ring but are dead in gossip prevent truncation

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-3242:
---------------------------------------------

bq. Could isAnyHostDown in StorageProxy.java be modified to not care about unreachable nodes that are not in the ring?

I'm not sure that's the best course of action since it's potentially dangerous.  Maybe a 'truncate force' so the operator has to be aware of the danger first, but we should figure out why there is an unreachable node listed after CASSANDRA-3071 which should have solved that.

> All of the nodes in my ring are up, however I do have an 'unreachable' node in gossip which was removed some time ago. When I attempt to run a truncation, it does to execute since some nodes are dead, despite those nodes not owning anything in the ring.
