Just use a standard rebalancing script and the empty node will fill in quickly enough.
The most common approach to rebalancing is to iterate through the files in your system and increase the replication substantially for about a minute and then drop it back down. It helps to overlap the time period for many files. The idea is that the new replicas are distributed according to available space and then one replica is randomly deleted when you decrease the replication factor.
