[jira] Commented: (CASSANDRA-195) Improve bootstrap algorithm

["Jonathan Ellis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12712116#action_12712116 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-195:
------------------------------------------

How does the new node (node Z) know that there are no nodes that were down at the time Z was brought up, but which need to send it data?

(Is this addressed at all in the existing bootstrap code?  I think what will happen is that a node D that is down at the time of bootstrap will never send the data over.)

> When you add a node to an existing cluster and the map gets updated, the new node may respond to read requests by saying it doesn't have any of the data until it gets the data from the node(s) the previously owned this range (the load-balancing code, when working properly can take care of this). While this behaviour is compatible with eventual consistency, it would be much friendlier for the new node not to "surface" in the EndPoint maps for reads until it has transferred the data over from the old nodes.
