It is used to force remove a node from gossip membership if something
goes wrong.
Note: run the force_remove_endpoint api at the same time on _all_ the
nodes in the cluster in order to prevent the removed nodes come back.
Becasue nodes without running the force_remove_endpoint api cmd can
gossip around the removed node information to other nodes in 2 *
ring_delay (2 * 30 seconds by default) time.
For instance, in a 3 nodes cluster, node 3 is decommissioned, to remove
node 3 from gossip membership prior the auto removal (3 days by
default), run the api cmd on both node 1 and node 2 at the same time.
$ curl -X POST --header "Accept: application/json"
"http://127.0.0.1:10000/gossiper/force_remove_endpoint/127.0.0.3"
$ curl -X POST --header "Accept: application/json"
"http://127.0.0.2:10000/gossiper/force_remove_endpoint/127.0.0.3"
Then run 'nodetool gossipinfo' on all the nodes to check the removed nodes
are not present.
Fixes#2134Closes#5436
In swagger 1.2 int is defined as int32.
We originally used int following the jmx definition, in practice
internally we use uint and int64 in many places.
While the API format the type correctly, an external system that uses
swagger-based code generator can face a type issue problem.
This patch replace all use of int in a return type with long that is defined as int64.
Changing the return type, have no impact on the system, but it does help
external systems that use code generator from swagger.
Fixes#5347
