I just increased my cluster from 2 to 4 nodes, and RF=2 to RF=3, using RP. The tokens seem pretty even on the ring, but two of the nodes are far more heavily loaded than the others. I understand that there are a variety of possible reasons for this, but I'm wondering whether anybody has suggestions for now to tweak the tokens such that this problem is alleviated. Would it be better to just add 2 more nodes?
