Pass -Dcassandra.join_ring=3Dfalse via the command line (at the bottom =
of cassnadra-env.sh)

That will stop the node joining the ring. The node will still take =
requests from clients, but will only be able to serve requests at CL One =
for the keys it is a replica for. Other in the cluster will not send =
traffic to it.=20

use `nodetool join` to get it back into the ring.=20
