This is not a correct concept of what a seed is. I suggest you not use the word 'seed' for it. > 2. I started 2 more nodes, which joined the cluster. > 3. I waited for the data to replicate, which didn't happen. Correct, you need to run nodetool repair because the nodes were not present when the writes came in. You can also use a higher consistency level to force read repair before returning data, which will incrementally repair things. > 4.

Seems like you might benefit from reading the operations wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations b b
