Nick Bailey commented on CASSANDRA-4092:
----------------------------------------
* You used tabs instead of spaces in a few places.
* Bikeshedding suggestion: what about 'describe_token_map'?
Besides that it looks good. I can't seem to get the system tests to run, but
it's something acting up on my system.
> Allow getting a simple Token->node map over thrift

> Right now the thrift describe_ring call is intended to be used to determine
> ownership for a keyspace. It can also (and often is) be used by clients to
> just get a view of what the ring looks like. Since it requires a keyspace as
> an argument though, it can sometimes be impossible to see what the ring looks
> like. For example, in a 2 DC/2 node ring where keyspace X exists only dc1.
> The results of 'describe_ring X' would look something like (with tokens 0 and
> 10):
> {noformat}
> {[0,10]: [node0], [10,0]: [node0]}
> {noformat}
> This is indicating that node0 owns everything for that keyspace since it only
> exists in 1 datacenter. From this output though it is impossible to tell
> which token (0 or 10) node0 owns, as well as what the other node in the
> cluster is.
> There are two options here.
> * Allow running describe_ring with no parameters to get a view of token->ip
> without taking replication into consideration.
> * Add a new thrift call to achieve this.
