Description

• 2-node

• nodeA - seed
• nodeB

1. decommission nodeB from the cluster with nodetool
when it's finished, kill cassandra process on nodeB
2. delete data from commit/cache/data directories on nodeB
3. try to start cassandra on nodeB (first time)
=> FAILED with "Unable to gossip with any seeds"
4. try to start cassandra on nodeB (second time)
=> OK

It was not a one-time shot. I tried it a several times and encountered the same issue for some reason.
