CASSANDRA-526 provides this ability, I just want to make sure, let's say I have one node, with token 0, and now I want to add 2 new ones, with initial_token set at 1/3 and 2/3 of the full range.
now I start nodes 2 and 3 with the -DCassandra.join_ring=false option, and later use JMX joinRing() to let 2 and 3 join. if there is a slight lag between the time 2 and 3 talk to 1, would it be possible that 2/3 of the keyspace is shipped out to node 2, and then when node 3 joins, it's shuffled out to node 3 again (unnecessarily) ? basically I want everyone to come together, agree on the current global membership, then start carving out the existing load. Thanks Yang
