Replacing a dead node by deleting it and auto_bootstrap'ing a new node (Cassandra 2.0)

[Omri Bahumi]

Hi,

I was wondering, how would auto_bootstrap behave in this scenario:

1. I had a cluster with 3 nodes (RF=2)
2. One node died, I deleted it with "nodetool removenode" (+ force)
3. A new node launched with "auto_bootstrap: true"

The question is: will the "right" vnodes go to the new node as if it
was bootstrapped with "-Dcassandra.replace_address=old_node_ipaddress"
?

Thanks,
Omri.
