----------------------------------------

             Summary: Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention
                 Key: CASSANDRA-5836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5836
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Bill Hathaway
            Priority: Minor


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.
