Pavel Yaskevich commented on CASSANDRA-5025:
--------------------------------------------

bq. Since Schema.updateVersion actually reads rows, I wondered if this will be 
equivalent to Schema.emptyVersion (perhaps Schema tables themselves are 
represented already by this point in time?) Brandon said that he would check 
this.

If that is bootstrap and node is completely empty thus has newly created system 
tables Schema.updateVersion would emit "emptyVersion" as there is no data to be 
read and empty digest has a constant value.

> When a schema change is made, the coordinator pushes the delta to the other 
> nodes in the cluster.  This is more efficient than sending the entire schema. 
>  But the coordinator also announces the new schema version, so the other 
> nodes' reception of the new version races with processing the delta, and 
> usually seeing the new schema wins.  So the other nodes also issue a pull to 
> the coordinator for the entire schema.
> Thus, schema changes tend to become O(n) in the number of KS and CF present.
