Hi Kresten,

after the first node has been removed, you have a cluster and an extra machine, haven't you ;-).

Lets take you example of 5 nodes.
So instead of having to do 5 node leaves and 5 joins, you can do 1 node leave, 4 replaces and 1 join.

Cheers,
Nico

If your cluster is large enough to guarantee your N value (e.g. N=3 requires 5 
nodes) then you can just remove one node at a time from the cluster (riak admin 
leave), re-install the node with the new backend options, and re-join the 
cluster.  In between these updates you then need to wait for all transfers to 
finish.

Alternatively, if you have an extra machine to spare, you can use "riak-admin 
cluster replace" to transfer data from an existing node to a new node.  When that 
command completes (some time after commit) all data is transferred and the original node 
has left the cluster.  This options would be much faster because you avoid the extra 
transfers and partition reshuffling, but needs an extra machine.
