The 3 nodes were added to the cluster at the same time, so I'm not sure whey the data vary.
I calculate the tokens and get: node 0: 0 node 1: 56713727820156410577229101238628035242 node 2: 113427455640312821154458202477256070485 So I should set these tokens to the three nodes? And during the time I execute the nodetool move commands, can the cassandra servers serve the front end requests at the same time? Is the data safe? Thanks.
