Awesome, thanks! A few final questions: 1) Can I change the Snitch in the live source cluster? I'm using SimpleSnitch, I'd change it to GossipingPropertyFileSnitch (in preparation for changing the replication strategy when the new cluster is up and running). 2) Can I have different Partitioners on the 2 clusters? I have RandomPartitioner in the current one, I'd like to use Murmur on the new one (it will be empty at first). Are partitioners only required to be the same in the same cluster or also across clusters in different DCs? 3) Will I be able to remove the old dc from the cluster when I finish rebuilding?
Thanks again!
