$ ./dev/dev2/bin/riak-admin join [email protected]
The 'join' command has been deprecated in favor of the new 
clustering commands provided by 'riak-admin cluster'. To continue 
using the deprecated 'join' command, use 'join -f'

$ ./dev/dev2/bin/riak-admin cluster
Usage: riak-admin cluster <command>

The following commands stage changes to cluster membership. These commands
do not take effect immediately. After staging a set of changes, the staged
plan must be committed to take effect:

   join <node>                    Join node to the cluster containing <node>
   leave                          Have this node leave the cluster and shutdown
   leave <node>                   Have <node> leave the cluster and shutdown

   force-remove <node>            Remove <node> from the cluster without
                                  first handing off data. Designed for
                                  crashed, unrecoverable nodes

   replace <node1> <node2>        Have <node1> transfer all data to <node2>,
                                  and then leave the cluster and shutdown

   force-replace <node1> <node2>  Reassign all partitions owned by <node1> to
                                  <node2> without first handing off data, and
                                  remove <node1> from the cluster.

Staging commands:
   plan                           Display the staged changes to the cluster
   commit                         Commit the staged changes
   clear                          Clear the staged changes

$ ./dev/dev2/bin/riak-admin cluster join [email protected]
Success: staged join request for '[email protected]' to '[email protected]'

$ ./dev/dev2/bin/riak-admin cluster commit
You must verify the plan with 'riak-admin cluster plan' before committing
