Adding new node to clusters with PropertyFileSnitch

Hi all, if my clusters have PropertyFileSnitch and I'm going to add nee
node, does that mean that new node must be added to ALL
cassandra-topology.properties files, and all nodes(in all clusters) must be
restarted?

BTW can I restart nodes one by one or must to switch off all nodes and only
then start them all?

Yes, unless that node's dc and rack happen to match the default dc and rack.

No, you don't have to restart any nodes.  They re-read
cassandra-topology.properties periodicaly (every five minutes, I think).
