Starting and stopping the NodeSync service

The NodeSync service automatically starts with the dse cassandra command. You can manually start and stop the service on each node.

For new tables, incremental NodeSync service is enabled by default in DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 6.8. To disable NodeSync service for all new tables, use the -Ddse.nodesync.disable_on_new_tables system parameter.

Procedure

Verify the status of the NodeSync service:
```
nodetool nodesyncservice status
```
The output should indicate running.
```
The NodeSync service is running
```
Disable the NodeSync service:
```
nodetool nodesyncservice disable
```
On the next restart of DSE, the NodeSync service will start up.
Verify the status of the NodeSync service:
```
nodetool nodesyncservice status
```
The output should indicate not running.
```
The NodeSync service is not running
```
