delete-node

Description

Completely removes a node and its data from the cluster.

Note that this action is only reversible by deploying a new leaf in the same location, attaching it, and rebalancing partitions.

This command removes the specified node from the cluster and deletes its data. If the node is a leaf node, this command will also rebalance the leaf node’s partitions into the remaining cluster.

A node must be stopped before it can be deleted. Use the stop-node command to perform this action.

If --memsql-id, or --memsql-cnf, or --all is not specified, memsqlctl will prompt the user to select a node from a table.

If --memsql-cnf is specified, memsqlctl will attempt to first delete the specifieddirectories in the config (datadir, plancachedir, tracelogsdir, etc.). Finally, memsqlctl will delete the memsql.cnf file itself and its record in the node metadata file, nodes.hcl.

To remove a leaf node from the cluster without deleting its data, and with the ability to add it back to the cluster, refer to the memsqlctl remove-leaf command.
