It was my first thought.
Then I md5 uuid and used the digest as a key:
MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
//in the loop
UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
byte[] bytes = md.digest(asByteArray(uuid));
the result is exactly the same, first node takes 66%, second 33% and
third one is empty. for some reason rows which should be placed on
third node moved to first one.
