Hi I did some more looking. It looks like on bootstrap the token gets added to the bootstrapTokens list. However there is no change to the tokenToEndPointMap. So how do writes make it to the new node. It is only when bootstrap is complete are the tokens removed from bootstrapTokens list added to the tokenToEndPointMap opening them up to the ring. Which means during bootstrap writes continue to go to the old nodes and the when bootstrap is complete there could be some data that was written during the bootstrap that remains on the old node. Am I missing something here? Any pointers would be great.
