Yes the OPP will could give you a distribution like that.
Given that only two nodes have data, and they seem to have same amount of data. I wonder if all your keys are falling into the key range of the last node? So with RF 2 they go to the last and first node only.
As an experiment you could try running the nodetool loadbalance command against node 2 and see how the distribution and tokens change. Then perhaps try against node 1. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations
You'll need to consider how your keys are distributed when using the OPP and set the tokens to get the best distribution.

Hi All,We are working with a Cassandra Cluster consisting 3 nodes with each having storage capacity of 0.5 Terabytes.We are loading the data into the cluster with OrderPreservingPartition and with Replication Factor 2The Data that has been loaded so far looks as follows:Address Status Load Range RingvHexMxAF1Te2bOvuServer1 Up 292.98 GB UHYqNsmZpD8DtZvw |<--|Server3 Up 292.77 GB ghbzYZ6U6uYQbK6g | |Server2 Up 917 bytes vHexMxAF1Te2bOvu |-->|As you can see the server2 is still empty, we guess it is for OrderPreservingPartion that we are using.Is this an expected behavior of Cassandra?Raich
