When you go from 4 -> 5 nodes, for example, approx. 1/5 of the existing partitions are transferred to the new node. The other 4/5s of the partitions will remain unchanged. As far as moving data around when new nodes are added, this is impossible to avoid. Data needs to be handed off to be spread around the ring. Hope that helps.
