When I execute the command "nodetool ring" the following output appears:
Address DC Rack Status State Load Effective-Ownership Token 159774252176126302045611947652425555499 10.36.214.118 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 16.62 GB 54.36% 82119805777845627277766502152998847873 10.36.214.66 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 6.44 GB 7.95% 95648023217342394827789894311936282285 10.36.214.122 datacenter1 rack1 Up Normal 10.85 GB 37.69% 159774252176126302045611947652425555499 as you can see there is no "Zero Token". Maybe I did something wrong. Will I need to "reset" my entire cluster? Regards.
