The bootstrap phase pretty much start in the bootstrap() method in StorageService.java, though a good part of the code is in Bootstrapper.java. > Also is my understanding correct that the new nodes that are added > are not joining the ring till the bootstrap process is complete i.e do > not receive any read or write requests from outside? It is true for reads but not for writes. Writes are send early in the bootstrap process otherwise the node wouldn't be up to date once the bootstrap is completed. -- Sylvain
