    Description

      For example, when starting a newly installed Cassandra node for the first time, if the seed is down (and the current node is not a seed) a RuntimeException gets thrown by the Gossiper with "Unable to gossip with any seeds", and Cassandra subsequently shuts down.

      The issue is with the StorageServiceShutdownHook thread which, if any exception is thrown as it's executing, will miss the remaining steps in the shutdown process.

      Here's a log fragment.
