As the FB guys seem to be a bit busy, I'll take a stab at answering this.
Firstly cassandra uses a gossip protocol for dynamic addition (and removal)
of servers from the pool. when you bring up a new node you simply configure
a set of seeds for it to initially communicate to and your away.
It is
yep.
but at the moment the FB guys are driving it, and are a bit upset at me for
suggesting to fork it due to lack of activity on the original project, and I
can't answer the concerns raised (is this an orphaned project in FB, and who
the dedicated pool of users are).
regards
Ian.
