[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8436) Replacing a dead node by deleting it and bootstrapping a new one

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8436?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14237247#comment-14237247 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-8436:
---------------------------------------------

bq. After the initial cluster creation, nodes are launched with auto_bootstrap enabled

Why? There's nothing to bootstrap, so it's a waste of time.

bq. Is deleting the node and bootstrapping a new one a feasible solution?

Of course.

Closing this as invalid, jira is not a place for questions, but I was nice.  This time.

> I brought this subject up in the mailing list, now I'm bringing it up in here.
> I'm trying to automate our Cassandra infrastructure. We're using an Autoscaling Group for keeping the Cassandra instances alive.
> After the initial cluster creation, nodes are launched with auto_bootstrap enabled.
> I was thinking to automate the process of node deletion (when a node terminates) and have the new launched node replace it.
> Reading the documentation, replacing a dead node should be done with "-Dcassandra.replace_address=<ip-address>".
