Vijay, thank you for your thoughtful reply. Will Cass complain if I
don't setup my tokens like in the examples?

All you heard is right...
You are not overriding Cassandra's token assignment by saying here is
your token...
Logic is:
Calculate a token for the given key...
find the node in each region independently (If you use NTS and if you
set the strategy options which says you want to replicate to the other
region)...
Search for the ranges in each region independntly
Replicate the data to that node.
For multi DC cassandra needs nodes to be equally partitioned
within each dc (If you care that the load equally distributed).... as
well as there shouldn't be any collusion of tokens within a cluster....
The documentation tried to explain the same and the example in the
documentation.
Hope this clarifies...
More examples if it helps....
DC1 Node 1 : token 0
DC1 Node 2 : token 8..
DC2 Node 1 : token 4..
DC2 Node 1 : token 12..
or
DC1 Node 1 : token 0
DC1 Node 2 : token 1..
DC2 Node 1 : token 8..
DC2 Node 1 : token 7..

Correction....
"The problem in the above approach is you have 2 nodes between 12

should be
"The problem in the above approach is you have 1 node between 0-4

Ok, I think you are saying that the computed token range intervals
are incorrect and that they would be:
DC1
*node 1 = 0 Range: (4, 16], (0, 0]
node 2 = 4 Range: (0, 4]
DC2
*node 3 = 8 Range: (12, 16], (0, 8]
node 4 = 12 Range: (8, 12]
If so, then yes, this is what I am seeking to confirm since I
haven't found any documentation stating this directly and that
reference that I gave only implies this; that is, that the token
ranges are calculated per data center rather than per cluster. I
just need someone to confirm that 100% because it doesn't sound
right to me based on everything else I've read.
SO, the question is: Does Cass calculate the consecutive node
token ranges A.) per cluster, or B.) for the whole data center?
From all I understand, the answer is B. But, that documentation
(reprinted below) implies A... or something that doesn't make
sense to me because of the token placement in the example:
"With NetworkTopologyStrategy, you should calculate the tokens the
nodes in each DC independantly...
DC1 node 1 = 0 node 2 = 85070591730234615865843651857942052864 DC2
node 3 = 1 node 4 = 850705917302346158658436518579
42052865"
However, I do see why this would be helpful, but first I'm just asking if
this token assignment is absolutely mandatory
or if it's just a technique to achieve some end.
