remove dead node without streaming

Hi all,

Is it possible to remove dead node directly from the cluster without streaming?

My Cassandra cluster is quite large and takes too long to stream. (nodetool removenode)

It's okay if my data is temporarily inconsistent.

Thanks in advance.

It is strictly unsafe and you shouldn’t do it but “nodetool assassinate” does what you’re asking (you may leave data behind that you won’t be able to read again later)

You’d be better off adding a new host on top of the old one (replace address)
