The key thing is that unless you're willing to accept the node serving reads with incorrect data, you need the node to initiate a normal bootstrapping process whereby it starts taking writes as it is bootstrapping, but won't take reads until it's done. This requires that other nodes know that it is joining the ring; if you just pop it back in they won't know that. -- / Peter Schuller (@scode on twitter)
