I hope I understand nodetool cleanup correctly - it should clean up all data
that does not (currently) belong to this node. If so, I think it might not
be working correctly.

Look at nodes 192.168.252.124 and 192.168.252.99 below

I wanted 124 to take all the load from 99. So I issued a move command.

$ nodetool -h cass99 -p 9004 move 56713727820156410577229101238628035243


This command tells 99 to take the space b/w
(56713727820156410577229101238628035242,
56713727820156410577229101238628035243]
which is basically just one item in the token space, almost nothing... I
wanted it to be very slim (just playing around).

So, next I get this:

The tokens are correct, but it seems that 99 still has a lot of data. Why?
OK, that might be b/c it didn't delete its moved data.
So next I issued a nodetool cleanup, which should have taken care of that.
Only that it didn't, the node 99 still has 352 MB of data. Why?
So, you know what, I waited for 1h. Still no good, data wasn't cleaned up.
I restarted the server. Still, data wasn't cleaned up... I issued a cleanup
again... still no good... what's up with this node?
