[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-5836) Seed nodes should be able to bootstrap without manual intervention

Maciek commented on CASSANDRA-5836:
-----------------------------------

I've also been pretty confused by this. Simplifying setup would make it less likely for new operators to make mistakes, and allow them to have a better first impression of the system. I hope the decision to mark this as wontfix is revisited.

> 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.
