Fully removing a decommissioned Cassandra node - cassandra

Running Cassandra 1.0, I am shrinking a ring from 5 nodes down to 4. In order to do that I ran nodetool decommission on the node I want to remove, then stopped cassandra on that host and used nodetool move and nodetool cleanup to update the tokens on the remaining 4 nodes to rebalance the cluster.
My seed nodes are A and B. The node I removed is C.
That seemed to work fine for 6-7 days, but now one of my four nodes thinks the decommissioned node is still part of the ring.
Why did this happen, and what's the proper way to fully remove the decommissioned node from the ring?
Here's the output of nodetool ring on the one node that still thinks the decommissioned node is part of the ring:

UPDATE:
I tried to remove the node using nodetool removetoken on node B, which is the one that still claims node C is in the ring. That command ran for 5 hours and didn't seem to do anything. The only change is that the state of Node C is "Leaving" now when I run nodetool ring on Node B.

I was able to remove the decommissioned node using nodetool removetoken, but I had to use the force option.
Here's the output of my commands:
iowalker:~$ nodetool -h `hostname` removetoken 57981914123659253974350789668785134662

iowalker:~$ nodetool -h `hostname` removetoken status
RemovalStatus: No token removals in process.

With Cassandra 2.0, you need to use sh nodetool decommission on node to be removed.
In your case, check if you have removed entries in cassandra-topology.properties

Cassandra multi dc replication nodetool rebuild issue and schema mismatch

Team,
I have a Cassandra cluster of 6 nodes and I've added a new datacenter to the existing setup of 5 nodes. I’ve followed all the steps but getting the below error when I run nodetool rebuild on the new dc’s nodes.

Can someone quickly help me fix this issue?
Changing the replication factor of the system_distributed keyspace to NetworkTopologyStrategy to include both dcs worked for me.
Command executed
ALTER KEYSPACE system_distributed WITH REPLICATION = {'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'datacenter1' : 2, 'dc1' : 2};
Output
system_distributed | True | {'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'datacenter1': '2', 'dc1': '2'}
After further research, I've learnt that the Cassandra version difference on both DC's caused this issue. When I matched the Cassandra version on both DC's the schema mismatch issue got resolved.

Cassandra partitioned despite having connectivity and matching schema

I have a 3 node cassandra (3.0.15) cluster, where nodes seem to have partitioned. nodetool status and nodetool describecluster outputs are inconsistent when seen from different nodes. Gossip information (nodetool gossipinfo) seems to be up to date on all nodes. No errors in the logs other than read timeouts which seems to be due from the partitioning.
Attempts to resolve this that didn't work:
Rolling restart
Full cluster restart
disable/enable gossip on each node

How to get rid of a node that shows as null after being replaced?

I had a 3 nodes cluster (Cassandra 3.9) ; one node went dead.
I built a new node from scratch and "replaced" the dead node using the information from this page https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsReplaceNode.html.
It looked like the replacement went ok.
I added two more nodes to strengthen the cluster.
A few days have passed and the dead node is still visible and marked as "down" on 3 of 5 nodes in nodetool status:

And in system.log:

In system.peers, the dead node shows and has the same ID as the replacing node :

Dead node and replacing node have different tokens in system.peers.
So my questions are :
Could you explain what is wrong ?
How can fix this and get rid of this dead node ?
From system.peers you got the host id, so can you try nodetool removenode/assassinate with the host id.
peer | host_id

Cassandra multinode cluster setup issue (for example 3 nodes)

I am keep getting below error when I tried to run single node or multinode Cassandra cluster.
Single node cluster with default config works fine, however nodetool staus shows 127.0.0.1 as IP Address.
After changing listen_address: 192.168.1.143 (this is my ip address) on cassandra.yaml file I am getting below error.
Exception (java.lang.RuntimeException) encountered during startup: Unable to gossip with any peers

Well, after trying different approaches finally I was able to resolve it and able to run single and 3 node cluster.
Below are the configuration changes you need to make on cassandra.yaml file
First Node
--------------
listen_address: 192.168.1.143 (This should be your server/node IP)
seeds: "192.168.1.143" (For your first node please mention your node IP address)
Second Node
---------------
listen_address: 192.168.1.144 (This should be your server/node IP)
seeds: "192.168.1.143" (specify your first node IP, additionally, you can also mention current IP address ,192.168.1.144)
Third Node
---------------
listen_address: 192.168.1.145 (This should be your server/node IP)
seeds: "192.168.1.143" (specify your first/second node IP, additionally, you can also mention current IP address ,192.168.1.145)
After starting cassandra on all 3 servers, nodetool status returned the following

Hope this helps!!
Yes, for joining cassandra cluster first time. you should start seed node first then other nodes.

Cassandra nodes appearing in different datacenters

I am having trouble with three nodes in Cassandra, each of them in an individual computer, as I am trying to set up my first Cassandra structure. I have set up everything as in the Datastax documentation, and I have the same configuration in the different cassandra.yaml of each machine (changing the relative ips). The thing is that after configuring everything, each computer sees each other as DN, and each machine (localhost) appears as UN, with the difference that in the .101 computer I can see two different datacenters, while in the other computers only one datacenter appears.
So in my 192.168.1.101 machine when I type
sudo nodetool status
I get this output:

While when I type "nodetool status" in one of the other two machines, I get this output:

In OpsCenter I can only see my 192.168.1.101 machine:
... Which makes me think that something's odd in the yaml file of this machine and the others, but I have checked several times and it seems that the configuration is the same in the other computers. Enpoint_snitch is set to "GossipingPropertyFileSnitch".
Any tips on how to solve the reason why all the other nodes appear as Down Normal and why I am getting two datacenters would be highly appreaciated. It's driving me crazy!
Thanks for reading.

On each machine, edit the $CASSANDRA_HOME/conf/cassandra-rackdc.properties file to set:
dc=dc1
rack=rack1
nodetool status shows that you set the wrong DC name for 2 nodes (DC1 instead of dc1). It's case sensitive
It looks like some of the installed nodes were dead, so I deleted the nodes that were not the local machine in each of the nodes, ie:
nodetool removenode 968d5d1e-a113-40ce-9521-e392a927ea5e
nodetool removenode fc5c2dbe-8834-4040-9e77-c3d8199b6767
and after that I got the right output when I executed nodetools status
[machine1]~$ sudo nodetool status

And made sure that the parameters cluster_name, seeds, listen_address and rpc_address were right.
cluster_name: 'Test Cluster'
seeds: "192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102"
listen_address: 192.168.1.101
rpc_address: 192.168.1.101
Changing listen_address and rpc_address to the corresponding ip of each machine in their corresponding cassandra.yaml file.
After that I got the right output (I am using only 2 machines for the nodes now):
