Are there tickets/documents explain how data be replicated on Virtual

two or more tokens chosen by replication strategy located on same

Thanks.

No, I am talking about Virtual Nodes with order preserving
partitioner. For an existing host with multiple tokens setting list
on cassandra.inital_token. After initial bootstrapping, the host will
not aware changes of cassandra.inital_token. If I want add a new
token( virtual node), I have to rebuild the host with new token list.
My question is if there is way to add a virtual nodes without rebuild it?
Thanks,

I checked nodetool command, there is no option to add a node.
Thanks.

I was misunderstood this
http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/virtual-nodes-in-cassandra-1-2 ,
especially
"If you want to get started with vnodes on a fresh cluster, however,
that is fairly straightforward. Just don’t set the
|initial_token| parameter in your|conf/cassandra.yaml| and instead
enable the |num_tokens| parameter. A good default value for this
is 256"
Also I couldn't find document about set multiple tokens
for cassandra.inital_token
Anyway, I just tested, it does work to set comma separated list of
tokens.
Thanks,

Links ?
or allow add Virtual Nodes manually?
If not looked into it but there is a cassandra.inital_token startup
param that takes a comma separated list of tokens for the node.
There also appears to be support for the ordered partitions to
generate random tokens.
But you would still have the problem of having to balance your row
keys around the token space.

Hi All,
Virtual Nodes is great feature. After I searched some document on
Datastax website and some old ticket, seems that it works for
random partitioner only, and leaves order preserved partitioner out
of the luck. I may misunderstand, please correct me. if it doesn't
love order preserved partitioner, would be possible to add support
multiple initial_token(s) for order preserved partitioner or
allow add Virtual Nodes manually?
Thanks,

You add a physical node and that in turn adds num_token tokens to
the ring.
no, those tokens will be skipped
