Hi, the steps are: - ALTER KEYSPACE to change your replication strategy - "nodetool repair -pr <yourkeyspace>" on ALL nodes or full repair "nodetool repair <yourkeyspace>" on enough replica to distribute and rebalance your data to replicas - nodetool cleanup on every node to remove superfluous data
Please note that you'd better not query the cluster for reads as you will ask data to replicas that doesn't have it yet until your repair is finished.
