They are used by nodetool removenode:
$ nodetool removenode force
$ nodetool removenode status
For example:
$ nodetool removenode status
RemovalStatus: Removing token (-8969872965815280276). Waiting for
replication confirmation from [127.0.0.3,127.0.0.1].
$ nodetool removenode force
RemovalStatus: No token removals in process.
Tested with:
1)
- start 3 nodes
- inject data with
cassandra-stress write no-warmup cl=TWO n=2000000 -schema 'replication(factor=2)'
- kill -9 node2
- wait for node2 to be in DOWN state
- run nodetool removenode host2_host_id on node1
2)
- start 3 nodes
- inject data with
cassandra-stress write no-warmup cl=TWO n=2000000 -schema 'replication(factor=2)'
- kill -9 node2
- wait for node2 to be in DOWN state
- run nodetool removenode host2_host_id on node1
- kill -9 node3
- nodetool removenode will wait forever since node3 is gonne, node3
will never send the replication confirmation to node1
- run nodetool removenode force on node1
nodetool removenode completes with the following error:
$ nodetool removenode 31690b82-ebb0-4594-8bcf-1ce82b6e0f6e
nodetool: Scylla API server HTTP POST to URL
