> Is it supposed to work that way, or have I missed something ? I don't see that you did anything wrong based on your description and based on my understanding how it works in 0.7 (not sure about 0.6), but hopefully someone else can address that part. What I can think of - did you inspect the log on the new node? Does it say anything about bootstraping or streaming data from other nodes? Does 'nodetool ring' indicate it considers itself completely up and in the cluster already?
Trying to determine whether the node is in fact considering it self done bootstrapping and joined to the ring, yet containing no data. > I tried then to put values for initialToken for both nodes (stopping and > restartings the servers), but it didn't change anything : I have the same > token values... This is expected. Once the node has bootstrapped into the cluster and saved its token, it will no longer try to acquire a new one. Any initial token in the configuration is ignored; it is only the *initial* token, quite literally. Changing the token would require a 'nodetool move' command. -- / Peter Schuller
