Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-195:
------------------------------------------

I don't see where this fixes the 
serve-reads-from-the-old-nodes-until-bootstrap-complete problem, can you give a 
high-level summary of how that works?

this code looks suspicious:

        ApplicationState bState = 
epState.getApplicationState(StorageService.BOOTSTRAP_MODE);
        boolean bootstrapState = false;
        if (bState != null)
        {
            bootstrapState = Boolean.parseBoolean(bState.getState());
            if (logger_.isDebugEnabled())
                logger_.debug(ep.getHost() + " has bootstrap state: " + 
bootstrapState);
        }

maybe I don't understand how this works -- to me that looks like if we send any 
update about a node, everyone will clear the bootstrap flag on it, unless we 
explicitly set bootstrap to true.  shouldn't we only update boostrap status 
when it's explicitly set to true or false?

> 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.
