Hello, We are using Cassandra 1.2.0. We have a cluster of 16 physical nodes, each node has 256 virtual nodes. We want to add 2 new nodes in our cluster : we follow the procedure as explained here : http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/operations/add_replace_nodes.
After starting 1 of the new node, we can see that this new node has 256 tokens ==>looks good We can see that this node is in the ring (using nodetool status) ==> looks good After the bootstrap is finished in the new node, no data has been moved automatically from the old nodes to this new node. However, when we send insert queries in our cluster, the new node accepts to insert the new rows. Please, could you tell me if we need to perform a nodetool repair after the bootstrap of the new node ? What happens if we perform a nodetool cleanup in the old nodes before doing the nodetool repair ? (Is there a risk of loosing some data ?) Regards. Jean Armel
