Mck SembWever commented on CASSANDRA-1034: ------------------------------------------ What's the status on this? This issue and its relations back to CASSANDRA-2878 are the only reason we're using OPP. I suspect other users setup with both cassandra and hadoop (or brisk) could be in the same boat. Not only does OPP leave an unbalanced ring (i've had a case where all data went to one node because the keys/tokens were longer than normal) it leaves poor performance to hadoop jobs as tasks requirement on data locality has become stricter (w/ CASSANDRA-2388). > Remove assumption that Key to Token is one-to-one > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-1034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1034 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Stu Hood > Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.1 > > Attachments: > 0001-Make-range-accept-both-Token-and-DecoratedKey.patch, > 0002-LengthPartitioner.patch, 1034-1-Generify-AbstractBounds-v3.patch, > 1034-2-Remove-assumption-that-token-and-keys-are-one-to-one-v3.patch, > 1034_v1.txt > > > get_range_slices assumes that Tokens do not collide and converts a KeyRange > to an AbstractBounds. For RandomPartitioner, this assumption isn't safe, and > would lead to a very weird heisenberg. > Converting AbstractBounds to use a DecoratedKey would solve this, because the > byte[] key portion of the DecoratedKey can act as a tiebreaker. > Alternatively, we could make DecoratedKey extend Token, and then use > DecoratedKeys in places where collisions are unacceptable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
