You need to move the node to the new token you would like. Take care to only do one move operation at a time in the ring and also do a repair –pr and cleanup after the move operation.
See nodetool move for more information Best, michael From: S C <as...@outlook.com<mailto:as...@outlook.com>> Reply-To: "user@cassandra.apache.org<mailto:user@cassandra.apache.org>" <user@cassandra.apache.org<mailto:user@cassandra.apache.org>> Date: Friday, February 8, 2013 6:54 PM To: "user@cassandra.apache.org<mailto:user@cassandra.apache.org>" <user@cassandra.apache.org<mailto:user@cassandra.apache.org>> Subject: How to change the tokens? I am trying to change the token of the Cassandra node but it is using a saved token. I have tried "-Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false" in the startup script but did not find it useful. Any thoughts?
