title: Cassandra - How to restore seed node from scratch?
body: <p>I would like to know what is the best way to restore a dead seed node after wiping out all data from <code>/var/lib/cassandra/data</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Should I just restart the dead node as seed and all data from its primary ranges will be automatically streamed back to it ? Then, I will run a repair on it after it is up.</p>
  
  <p>Or should I set a new node as seed then I restore my dead node with <code>auto_boostrap=true</code> ?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
