I just finished decommissioning a datacenter, and I'm seeing this error in the replicas in the new one whenever I restart them.
ERROR 17:25:21,471 Exception in thread Thread[GossipStage:6,5,main] java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "10035671368176114840423743305116601547" at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48) at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java:422) at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java:468) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.extractExpireTime(StorageService.java:1660) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.handleStateLeft(StorageService.java:1515) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.onChange(StorageService.java:1234) at org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageService.onJoin(StorageService.java:1958) at org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.handleMajorStateChange(Gossiper.java:841) at org.apache.cassandra.gms.Gossiper.applyStateLocally(Gossiper.java:892) at org.apache.cassandra.gms.GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler.doVerb(GossipDigestAck2VerbHandler.java:50) at org.apache.cassandra.net.MessageDeliveryTask.run(MessageDeliveryTask.java:56) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) The old replicas appear as down, but I'm not worried because no client is writing or reading against that datacenter, and my replication strategy is not referencing it. However, I don't want to see them forever listed there. Is there a way to manually remove them from the "known replicas list" or wherever they are stored? -- *Juan Manuel Formoso *Senior Geek http://twitter.com/juanformoso http://seniorgeek.com.ar LLAP
