For BOP, a node's primary range will include all rows with keys that are less than it's token and greater than the token of the node with the next smallest token. So, if you have two nodes with tokens "a" and "b", the node with token "b" will be the primary replica for all rows whose key falls between "a" and "b" (essentially, all keys that start with "a"). With BOP, the ideal set of tokens would split a sorted list all of the keys in your data into equal partitions. You have to know the distribution of your keys to do this properly, and the correct choice of tokens will change over time as your data does. This is why we typically strongly advise against using ordered partitioner. When you're doing a move with BOP using nodetool, you specify the new token in hex. > Maybe you answered the 2nd question and I don't get it, but what would I > pass the move command when I want to rebalance the cluster? > > Thanks > > > On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 11:34 AM, Tyler Hobbs <ty...@datastax.com> wrote: > >> The tokens are hex encoded arrays of bytes. >> >> >> On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 1:05 PM, work late <worklate1...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>> The ring command on nodetool shows as >>> >>> Address DC Rack Status State Load >>> Owns Token >>> >>> Token(bytes[88401b216270ab8ebb690946b0b70eab]) >>> 10.1.1.1 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 69.1 KB >>> 50.00% Token(bytes[4936c862b88db2bdd92d684583bf0280]) >>> 10.1.1.2 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 69.1 KB >>> 50.00% Token(bytes[88401b216270ab8ebb690946b0b70eab]) >>> >>> >>> The token looks like a MD5 value, is that correct?
