Hi,
Edward Capriolo described in his Cassandra book a faster way [1] to start new
nodes if the cluster size doubles, from N to 2 *N.
It's about splitting in 2 parts each token range taken in charge, after the
split, with 2 nodes: the existing one, and a new one. And for starting a new
node,
Basically this recipe is from the old days when we had anti-compaction. Now
streaming is very efficient rarely fails and there is no need to do it this
way anymore. This recipe will be abolished from the second edition. It
still likely works except when using counters.

I guess it's true in v1.2.
Is it true also in v1.1 ?
Thanks.
