@Hyunwoo_Kim: Hi,
I’m planning to add a new node to a cluster with the following setup:
• 5 nodes, each holding 500GB of data
• RF is 3
Is there any benchmark or reference data on how long it typically takes to add a new node under these conditions?

@dor: In the old architecture, it depends on the schema, can take 1-2 hours but it varies. The new tablet code, in the source available version - 2024.2 will do it in 15 minutes

@Hyunwoo_Kim: Oh, I got it. I appreciate
