Hi Daniel, It should be safe, yes. If you run the `cluster leave` commands, then run `cluster plan` (but don't yet run `cluster commit`), the output will show if there's any violations in spreading each of your 3 copies around the cluster. If it does provide a warning, you can `cluster clear` and backout the changes. If not, then you can `cluster commit` and the data will be moved from the leaving nodes to the rest of the cluster. Whether or not you see any violations (i.e. more than one copy of data being stored on the same physical server) will depend on a combination of number of nodes and the ring size.
