Re: Question about num_tokens

I'm not sure I entirely agree with the docs there, as they don't quite match my experiences, but it's going to depend a lot on your specific needs and other parts of the configuration. I think data distribution with low num_tokens is generally considered to be less of a problem with larger cluster

Re: Question about num_tokens

Thanks for the response and details. I am just curious about the below statement mentioned in the doc. I am pretty confident that my clusters are going to grow to 100+ nodes (same DC or combining all DCs). I am just concerned that the doc says it is *not recommended for clusters over 50 nodes*. 16

Re: Question about num_tokens

More tokens: better data distribution, more expensive repairs, higher probability of a multi-host outage taking some data offline and affecting availability. I think with >100 nodes the repair times and availability improvements make a strong case for 16 tokens even though it means you'll need mo
