Hi,
we`re in the middle of extending our cluster from 10 to 30 nodes, we`re running cassandra 1.1.1...
We`ve generated initial tokens for new nodes:
 "0": 0,                                     # existing: node01-01

 "29": 164469810678453590673964393592021302203  # new: node02-16
then we`ve started to boostrap new nodes,
but due to copy and paste mistake:
* node node01-14 was started with 130441573986359744327626932848844481058 as initial token(so node01-14 has initial_token, what should belong to node02-14), it
should have 124770201204344103269904022724981677533 as initial_token
* node node02-14 was started with 136112946768375385385349842972707284582 as initial token, so it has token from existing node01-06....

However we`ve used other program for generating previous initial_tokens and actual token of node01-06 in ring is 136112946768375385385349842972707284576.
Summing up: we have currently this situation in ring:

node02-05 rack2 Up Normal 596.31 GB 6.67% 119098828422328462212181112601118874004 node01-14 rack1 Up Joining 242.92 KB 0.00% 130441573986359744327626932848844481058 node01-06 rack1 Up Normal 585.5 GB 13.33% 136112946768375385385349842972707284576 node02-14 rack2 Up Joining 113.17 KB 0.00% 136112946768375385385349842972707284582 node02-15 rack2 Up Joining 178.05 KB 0.00% 141784319550391026443072753096570088106 node01-15 rack1 Up Joining 191.7 GB 0.00% 147455692332406667500795663220432891630 node02-06 rack2 Up Normal 597.69 GB 20.00% 153127065114422308558518573344295695148


We would like to get back to our original configuration.
Is it safe to wait for finishing bootstraping of all new nodes and after that invoke:
* nodetool -h node01-14 move 124770201204344103269904022724981677533
* nodetool -h node02-14 move 130441573986359744327626932848844481058
We should probably run nodetool cleanup on several nodes after that...
