At least the problem of hadoop and vnodes described in CASSANDRA-6091 doesn't apply to spark. (Spark already allows multiple token ranges per split).
If this is the reason why DSE hasn't enabled vnodes then fingers crossed that'll change soon. > Some of the DataStax videos that I watched discussed how the Cassandra Spark > connecter has > optimizations to deal with vnodes. Are these videos public? if so got any link to them? ~mck
