Do not set initial_token when using murmur3partitioner. instead, set num_tokens.
For example, u have 3 hosts with the same hardware setup, then, for each one set the same num_tokens. But now consider adding another better host, this time i'd suggest you to set previous num_tokens * 2. num_tokens: 128 (worse machines) num_tokens: 256(twice better machine) This is the setup of virtual nodes. Check current datastax docs for it. On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 8:43 PM, Edward Capriolo <edlinuxg...@gmail.com>wrote: > This is the bad side of changing default.
