Hi, I am provisioning a new datacenter for an existing cluster. A rather shaky VPN connection is hindering me from making a "nodetool rebuild" bootstrap on the new DC. Interestingly, I have a full fresh database snapshot/backup at the same location as the new DC (transferred outside of the VPN). I am now considering the following approach:
1. Make sure my clients are using the old DC. 2. Provision the new nodes in new DC. 3. ALTER the keyspace to enable replicas on the new DC. This will start replicating all writes from old DC to new DC. 4. Before gc_grace_seconds after operation 3) above, use sstableloader to stream my backup to the new nodes. 5. For safety precaution, do a full repair. Could you see any issues with doing this?
