Interesting, there is no such explicit warning for v.3 https://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.0/cassandra/operations/opsAddNodeToCluster.html It says - Start the bootstrap node. - verify that the node is fully bootstrapped and all other nodes are up (UN)
Does it mean that we should start them one by one? May somebody from developers can clarify this issue?

I hope someone will correct me if i am wrong. 2017-04-11 18:43 GMT+02:00 Jacob Shadix <jacobsha...@gmail.com>: Are you using vnodes? I typically do one-by-one as the decommission will create additional load/network activity streaming data to the other nodes as the token ranges are reassigned. -- Jacob Shadix On Sat, Apr 8, 2017 at 10:55 AM, Vlad <qa23d-...@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, how multiple nodes should be decommissioned by "nodetool decommission"- one by one or in parallel ? Thanks.
