I tried an autobootstrap + decomission, but I got this error on the live node: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: replication factor (3) exceeds number of endpoints (2) And I got this error on the new node: Bootstraping to existing token 113427455640312821154458202477256070484 is not allowed (decommission/removetoken the old node first). - Do I really need to do the token - 1 manual selection for this? Thanks
