On the same page there is a section on Load Balance that talks about python
script to compute tokens. I believe your question is more about assigning
new tokens and not compute tokens.
1. "nodetool loadbalance" will result in recomputation of tokens. It will
pick tokens based on the load and not the once assigned by you.
2. You can either use decommission and bootstrap with new tokens OR Use
"nodetool move"
Thanks,
