+ == Cassandra says "ClusterName mismatch: oldClusterName != newClusterName" and refuses to start ==
+
+ To prevent operator errors, Cassandra stores the name of the cluster in its system table. If you need to rename a cluster for some reason, it is safe to remove system/LocationInfo* if you've specified the node's token in the config file, or if you don't care about preserving the node's token (for instance in single node clusters.)
