Description

from http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg13001.html

StorageService.joinRing() aborts the auto bootstrap process if the cluster does not have a schema defined. It looks like the node is left in the "Joining" mode and there is no logging.

There could be a schema defined and no data loaded, so just having a schema does not make the token selection any better. And BootStrapper.bootstrap() handles their been no non system tables.

Can we let the bootstrap process continue ?
