I have build a 3 node cluster in US and currently adding another 3 nodes in singapore. I saw in cassandra documentation that if new node is being added then in its yaml file its ipaddress should not be present in the seeds list. I wanted to have 2 seeds from the singapore region and so I added same ( 2 us ip address and 2 singapore addres) in seeds list. My question is can i add the ip address for new singapore node in its seeds list before i start the server and make it join the cluster? ( I also have the US seeds added in it, i.e,. us 2 and singapore 2 ). THanks for the information.

Yes, you can add the new seed nodes before starting them. As new nodes come up, they will initially use the existing (us) seed nodes before the new nodes are available.
