In my opinion you should not be doing that anyway. Because families can have as many columns as you like anyway, it should not normally be necessary to create new families. And when you do, it will probably be part of a major release that will have some impact on your infrastructure. You should define an operational procedure for restarting all the nodes for occasional use by ops engineers; they could choose to automate it. Restarting all nodes isn't that onerous provided it's not done too often. It's not going to take > a few hours, even if you have quite a few. Mark
