[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-3768) Implement VNode to improve bootstrapping

["Vijay (Updated) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3768?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Vijay updated CASSANDRA-3768:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
Implementation of vnode will provide us with lot of advantages in bootstrapping and operating a big cluster.

Some Problems which VNodes can solve:
* When we have a balanced large cluster doubling a live cluster is not an very good option and often this makes us to over provision.
* The above is true when we want to shrink a cluster too.
* Currently in my organization often we have use cases where we have to refresh production cluster's into a dev clusters. There is a strong need where we can have different sized clusters and data' can be fork lift data's into and out of it without over engineering or complicating the recovery process.
* In some cases bootstrapping a node which which has a large amount of data might take longer than needed and it might cause the neighbors to be over loaded.

I am not sure if i know all the changes which needs to be performed to get to that state, but this ticket will get us started.
