write_survey is slightly different to join_ring. TBH I haven't used write_survey myself for this purpose, but I believe it should work. The code certainly indicates that it will bootstrap and stream, but just not join the ring until you trigger a joinRing with JMX. (You'll have to look up the specific JMX call to make, there is one somewhere...) 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? Code seems to imply that it should always keep SSTable levels. Sounds like something is wrong if it is not :/.
