Caution
You're viewing documentation for an unstable version of ScyllaDB Open Source. Switch to the latest stable version.
If, for any reason, the ScyllaDB service started before you had a chance to update the configuration file, some of the system tables may already reflect an incorrect status, and unfortunately, a simple restart will not fix the issue. In this case, the safest way is to stop the service, clean all of the data, and start the service again.
Stop the ScyllaDB service.
sudo systemctl stop scylla-server
docker exec -it some-scylla supervisorctl stop scylla
(without stopping some-scylla container)
Delete the Data and Commitlog folders.
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/scylla/data
sudo find /var/lib/scylla/commitlog -type f -delete
sudo find /var/lib/scylla/hints -type f -delete
sudo find /var/lib/scylla/view_hints -type f -delete
Start the ScyllaDB service.
sudo systemctl start scylla-server
docker exec -it some-scylla supervisorctl start scylla
(with some-scylla container already running)
Run ‘nodetool status’ to verify all nodes are up and joined.
