Harish Doddi commented on CASSANDRA-3880: ----------------------------------------- Hi, I have seen from the code the RP's token range as of now is from 0 to 2^127 There are checks in the code if you bring a node with a token > 2^127, you run into a configuration exception. As a result that node cannot be bootstrapped. I validated this by supplying a token > 2^127 If you think there is something I am missing, please let me know. > Random Partitioner does not check if tokens are outside of its range > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3880 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3880 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 0.7.6, 1.0.7 > Reporter: Marcel Steinbach > Assignee: Harish Doddi > Priority: Minor > > Setting up a ring where the tokens are outside RP's token range leads to an > unbalanced cluster. The partitioner still reports equally distributed > ownership since it calculates ownership only with the _distances_ of the > tokens in relation to the maximum token. > E.g. maximum token = 15 > token1 = 5 > token2 = 10 > token3 = 15 > token4 = 20 > ownership4 = (token4 - token3) / maximum_token = 5 / 15 = 1/3 > So token4 claims to own 33.33% of the ring but is not responsible for any > primary replicas. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
