Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-195:
------------------------------------------
When started in bootstrap mode, Z should advertise its status with a flag that
says "I'm here for the purposes of sending me data, but I'm not accepting reads
until I have that data." Then we can reject reads w/ UnavailableException
since anyone sending a read anyway is buggy.
(Writes we should accept since they will be forwarded by the old node.)

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Sandeep Tata
> Fix For: 0.5
>
>
> When you add a node to an existing cluster and the map gets updated, the new
> node may respond to read requests by saying it doesn't have any of the data
> until it gets the data from the node(s) the previously owned this range (the
> load-balancing code, when working properly can take care of this). While this
> behaviour is compatible with eventual consistency, it would be much
> friendlier for the new node not to "surface" in the EndPoint maps for reads
> until it has transferred the data over from the old nodes.
