Otherwise, it will pick a Token that will give it half the keys from the node with the most disk space used, that does not already have another node boostrapping into its Range. + If you explicitly specify an !InitialToken in the configuration, the new node will bootstrap to that position on the ring. Otherwise, it will pick a Token that will give it half the keys from the node with the most disk space used, that does not already have another node boostrapping into its Range. Important things to note: 1. You should wait long enough for all the nodes in your cluster to become aware of the bootstrapping node via gossip before starting another bootstrap. For most clusters 30s will be plenty of time. @@ -90, +90 @@ Cassandra exposes internal metrics as JMX data.
