Then it is just 2 minutes after the last node joins.
In other words starting a six node cluster would not be that much faster than starting a 100 node cluster if each had 3 seeds (I'm pretty sure it would mostly be network overhead of gossip communication/peer discovery). -- ----------------- Nate McCall Austin, TX @zznate Co-Founder & Sr. Technical Consultant Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com
