Hello, I have a doubt about how initial token is determined. In Cassandra's documentation it is said that it is better to manually configure the initial token to each node in the system but also is said that if initial token is not defined and autobootstrap is true, new nodes choose initial token in order to better the load balance of the cluster. But what happens if no initial token is chosen and autobootstrap is not activated? How each node selects its initial token to balance the ring?
I ask this because I am making tests with a 20 nodes cassandra cluster with cassandra 0.7.9. Any node has initial token, nor autobootstraping. I restart the cluster with each test I want to make and in the end the cluster is always well balanced. Thanks Carlos Pérez Miguel
