Jeremiah Jordan commented on CASSANDRA-11989: --------------------------------------------- In order to do anything like this we need consistent token management and probably a bunch of other stuff I haven't thought of first. We have tried to do "move tokens" between nodes before, and we could never get it to work safely with the current membership/gossip architecture and had to remove the ability. > Rehabilitate Byte Ordered Partitioning > -------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-11989 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11989 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Tupshin Harper > Labels: ponies > Fix For: 4.x > > > This is a placeholder ticket to aid in NGCC discussion and should lead to a > design doc. > The general idea is that Byte Ordered Partitoning is the only way to maximize > locality (beyond the healthy size of a single partition). Because of > random/murmur's inability to do so, BOP has intrinsic value, assuming the > operational downside are eliminated. This ticket tries to address the > operational challenges of BOP and proposes that it should be the default in > the distant future. > http://slides.com/tupshinharper/rehabilitating_bop -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
