For a new cluster, the recommended method is to pre-calculate the tokens and bring nodes up with appropriate tokens. For existing clusters, it depends. E.g. if you're doubling the amount of nodes you can just add them. If you're looking to add e.g. 25% more nodes that requires moving nodes around. Be aware that moving a node implies decomission + bootstrap, so the node will temporarily not be contributing to cluster capacity during the move. -- / Peter Schuller
