New Node

[root@cas2 apache-cassandra-2.1.3]# bin/nodetool status

It's not enough to have same settings for the 2 nodes. You have to help the new node to discover the cluster it intends to join.

You do this by updating the seeds property in cassandra.yaml of the new node.

seeds (Default: 127.0.0.1) A comma-delimited list of IP addresses used by gossip for bootstrapping new nodes joining a cluster. If your cluster includes multiple nodes, you must change the list from the default value to the IP address of one of the nodes.
