Thanks Aaron. I ran the cassandra-shuffle job and did a rebuild and compact on
each of the nodes.

So this is a little better. At last node 3 has some content, but they are
still far from balanced. If I am understand this correctly, this is the
distribution I would expect if the tokens were set at 15/5/1 rather than equal.
As configured, I would expect roughly equal amounts of data on each node. Is
that right? Do you have any suggestions for what I can look at to get there?
I have about 11M rows of data in this keyspace and none of them are
exceptionally long ... it's data pulled from Oracle and didn't include any
BLOB, etc.

Use nodetool status with vnodes
http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/upgrading-an-existing-cluster-to-vnodes
The different load can be caused by rack affinity, are all the nodes in the
same rack ? Another simple check is have you created some very big rows?

So I have three nodes in a ring in one data center. My configuration has
num_tokens: 256 set andinitial_token commented out. When I look at the ring,
it shows me all of the token ranges of course, and basically identical data for
each range on each node. Here is the Cliff's Notes version of what I see:

So at this point I have a number of questions. The biggest question is of
Load. Why does the .125 node have 2.85 GB, .126 has 1.15 GB, and .127 has only
0.000069 GB? These boxes are all comparable and all configured identically.

I'm sorry to ask so many questions - I'm having a hard time finding
documentation that explains this stuff.
