I have not thought thru why adding a node would cause this behavior, but

related issues (which end up with causing excessive numbers of sstables) - we 
saw many thousands per node for some tables

If you have a manageable number of tables, try setting coldReadsToOmit (a 
setting on SizeTieredCompactionStrategy) back to 0 which was the default in 
2.0.x

Otherwise you could apply this patch (which reverts the default - and I doubt 
you had overridden it), but note that the coldReadsToOmit is fixed in 2.1.4, so 
if you can do it just by chaining table config then that is good.
