Hi,

While setting up a cluster for our POC, when we installed Cassandra on the 1st 
node we gave num_tokens: 256 , while on next 2 nodes which were added later we 
left it blank in Cassandra.yaml.

This made our cluster an unbalanced one with nodetool status showing 99% load 
on one server. Now even if I am setting up num tokens in the other 2 nodes as 
256, its not seeming to effect. The wiki article  
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/VirtualNodes/Balance doesn't seem to provide 
steps to correct from this situation.

I read that there was nodetool balance kind of command in Cassandra 0.7 but not 
anymore.

UN  Node3  23.72 MB   1       0.4%   41a71df-7e6c-40ab-902f-237697eaaf3e  rack1
UN  Node2  79.35 MB   1       0.5%   98c493b-f661-491e-9d1f-1803f859528b  rack1
UN  Node1  86.93 MB   256     99.1%  a35ccca-556c-4f77-aa6d-7e3dad41ecf8  rack1

Is there something that we can do now balance the cluster?

Regards,
Tarun
