I have removed a node with nodetool removenode, which completed ok. Nodetool status does not list the node anymore.
But since then, Im seeing messages in my other nodes log files referring to the removed node: INFO [GossipStage:38] 2015-10-14 11:18:26,322 Gossiper.java (line 968) InetAddress /10.68.56.200 is now DOWN INFO [GossipStage:38] 2015-10-14 11:18:26,324 StorageService.java (line 1891) Removing tokens [85070591730234615865843651857942052863] for / 10.68.56.200 These two messages appear every minute. I've tried nodetool removenode again (Host ID not found) and removenode force (no token removals in process). The jmx unsafeAssassinateEndpoint gives a NullPointerException. What can I do to remove the node entirely?
