We are running the datastax .8 rpm distro. We have a situation where we have 4 nodes and each owns 25% of the keys. However the last node in the ring does not seem to be getting much of a load at all.
We are using the random partitioner, we have a total of about 20k keys that are sequential... Our nodetool ring output is currently: Address DC Rack Status State Load Owns Token 127605887595351923798765477786913079296 10.181.138.167 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 99.37 GB 25.00% 0 192.168.100.6 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 106.25 GB 25.00% 42535295865117307932921825928971026432 10.181.137.37 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 77.7 GB 25.00% 85070591730234615865843651857942052863 192.168.100.5 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 494.67 KB 25.00% 127605887595351923798765477786913079296 Nothing is running on netstats on .37 or .5. I understand that the nature of the beast would cause the load to differ between the nodes...but I wouldn't expect it to be so drastic. We had the token for .37 set to 85070591730234615865843651857942052864, and I decremented and moved it to try to kickstart some streaming on the thought that something may have failed, but that didn't yield any appreciable results. Are we seeing completely abnormal behavior? Should I consider making the token for the fourth node considerably smaller? We calculated the node's tokens using the standard python script. -- *David McNelis* Lead Software Engineer Agentis Energy www.agentisenergy.com o: 630.359.6395 c: 219.384.5143 *A Smart Grid technology company focused on helping consumers of energy control an often under-managed resource.*
