Node in DL status cannot be removed

[Rock Zhang <ro...@alohar.com>]

Hi All,


After I decommission the node, i see the node status is DL and always
there, even after i removed the node, anybody knows how to remove it ?
Many thanks.

Doesn't sound like it finished decommissioning (which takes time because it
will actually stream that node's data to other nodes who assume the token
ranges).

1) If your node still exists, bring it up and nodetool decommission. Wait
until the decommission finishes.

2) You can do nodetool removenode if you've already gotten rid of the node.

3) If all else fails, you can use the assassinate endpoint operation in jmx
to get rid of a node. But only if all else fails.



All the best,
