Hi Kurt, 1) You mean restarting the node in the middle of the bootstrap with join_ring=false? Would this option require me to issue a nodetool boostrap resume, correct? I didn't know you could instruct the join via JMX. Would it be the same of the nodetool boostrap command? 2) Yes, they are streamed into L0 as far as I can see (although they are mainly L2/L3 on the existing nodes). I don't think I can do much about it as long as I am using LCS, am I right?
Thanks for the help, much appreciated! Cheers, Stefano On Wed, Aug 23, 2017 at 10:52 AM, kurt greaves <k...@instaclustr.com> wrote: > Well, that sucks.
