Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-6547.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Sorry, I don't think this is worth the complexity to maintain in tree.  Consider creating a script around nodetool to look up an address from a token list instead.

> This is a follow-up for CASSANDRA-5916 where option "-Dcassandra.replace_token" was deprecated.
> The attached patch is a tentative to bring it back, but the token(s) must identify only one host and be an exact match (ie : all tokens of the host must be specified).
> How it works:
>  - after the shadow gossip round, it tries to find a host to replace which matches exactly the specified tokens.
>  - then it set -Dcassandra.replace_address
>  - then, process is the same as replacing an host
> For us, it is a lot easier to use replace_token than replace_address. (We describe a cluster with a number of nodes and a list of tokens, and are in the cloud...)
