I believe they actually recommend adding all the nodes you want to add in a single step, instead of one by one - this way the hand-off will happen only once, and all the objects will go to the right nodes immediately.
If you add nodes one by one, the objects will have to do multiple transitions, since each added node will cause a redistribution of which nodes will be responsible for which objects, causing a hand-off process each time, and you will consume more traffic, time and more resources to get the same final result. http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/planning/best-practices/#How-to-add-Nodes -- View this message in context: http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com/Adding-Nodes-to-a-Running-Cluster-tp4028951p4028952.html Sent from the Riak Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
