Ryan,
I've not checked with the code but the wiki docs for the Gossip Protocol say it makes use of the seed list. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureGossip
During each gossip round a node will try to gossip to one seed node.
Which made me think keeping the list sane and reasonably balanced was a good idea. Obviously would not matter too much on a small cluster though.

Note that there's not really anything special about the seed node and its all relative– the cluster doesn't necessarily have to agreed on who the seeds are.So, to bring up a new node to replace the old seed, just set the new node's seed to any existing node in the system. After that you can go back and make the setting consistent across the cluster.

After that they aren't needed. There should be no reason to restart your cluster after adding a seed node to your cluster.

After I add the new node as seed node in the configuration for all of my nodes, do I need to restart all of my nodes?
2010/12/7 Nick Bailey <n...@riptano.com>The node can be set as a seed node at any time. It does not need to be a seed node when it joins the cluster. You should remove it as a seed node, set autobootstrap to true and let it join the cluster. Once it has joined the cluster you should add it as a seed node in the configuration for all of your nodes.

How can I bootstrap the node into cluster, I know if the node is seed node, I can't set AutoBootstrap to true.2010/12/6 Jonathan Ellis <jbel...@gmail.com>
set it as a seed _after_ bootstrapping it into the cluster.
