Hi, I'm currently investigating an upgrade for our Cassandra cluster from 2.2 to 3.11, and as part of that would like to understand if there is any change in how the cluster behaves w.r.t number of tokens. For historical reasons, we have num_tokens set very high but want to make sure that this is not more dangerous in a later version.
I've read recent threads on the new default, and the Netflix whitepaper, so I'm fairly comfortable with the pros/cons of various token counts - but specifically am interested about the difference in behavior between Cassandra major versions, if one exists. Thanks, Leon
