ok, thank you both for the clarification. So the correct approach would be to bootstrap the new node and run repair on each of the nodes in the cluster.

I'm a bit puzzled though, I just tried to increase R to 3 in a cluster with N=2. It serves reads and writes without issues CL.one. Is the described restriction is something that will be implemented in the future?

Thank you
Regards

The documentation is correct.
I was mistakenly remembering discussions in the past about RF > #nodes.

I'm not sure why this is not allowed. As long as I do not use CL.all there will be enough nodes available to satisfy the read / write (at least when I
look at ReadCallback and the WriteResponseHandler). Or am I missing
something here?

According to http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/cluster_architecture/replication

"As a general rule, the replication factor should not exceed the
number of nodes in the cluster. However, it is possible to increase
replication factor, and then add the desired number of nodes
afterwards. When replication factor exceeds the number of nodes,
writes will be rejected, but reads will be served as long as the
desired consistency level can be met."
