Hi,
Consider using this approach, replacing nodes one by one:

Best approach to replace existing 8 smaller 8 nodes in production cluster with 
New 8 nodes that are bigger in capacity without a downtime

We have 4 nodes each in 2 DC, and we want to replace these 8 nodes with new 8 
nodes that are bigger in capacity in terms of RAM,CPU and Diskspace without a 
downtime.
The RF is set to 3 currently, and we have 2 large tables with upto 70Million 
rows

What would be the best approach to implement this
     - Add 1 New Node and Decomission 1 Old node at a time?
     - Add all New nodes to the cluster, and then decommission old nodes ?
         If we do this, can we still keep the RF=3 while we have 16 nodes at a 
point in the cluster before we start decommissioning?
    - How long do we wait in between adding a Node or decomissiing to ensure 
the process is complete before we proceed?
    - Any tool that we can use to monitor if the add/decomission node is done 
before we proceed to next

Any other suggestion?
