Just to add to that.
Further test shows that 2i searches aso suffer form the problem of not
showing all results durring active vnode transfer.
Is this a known issue with Riak 1.2.1? Has it been solved in 1.3?

Anyone else experienced that? I guess attaching a node would trigger that
as well, maybe in less severe way.
Also I've read somewhere that you should attach one node at a time to Riak
cluster, and wait until vnode transfer completes.
I think it's no longer true in 1.2 since you have a plan that you commit,
but attaching a node and shuffling vnodes will cause problem described

What is the solution here? Waiting until vnode transfer finishes is not
acceptable (availability) and recent findings show it may take a while on
big clusters.
