previously when a node dies, I remember the documents describes that it's better to assign T-1 to the new node, where T was the token of the dead node.
the new doc for 1.x here http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations#Replacing_a_Dead_Node shows a new way to pass in cassandra.replace_token=<Token> for the new node. Using this method, when choosing the new <Token>, should we still use the T-1 ? Also in Priam code: https://github.com/Netflix/Priam/blob/master/priam/src/main/java/com/netflix/priam/identity/InstanceIdentity.java line 148, it does not seem that Priam does the "-1" thing, but assigns the original token T to the new node. if so, would the duplicate token (same token but different ip) cause problems? Thanks Yang
