My understanding is that the 1.2.x behavior here is : 1) initial_token set, num_tokens set = cassandra picks the num_tokens value, ignores initial_token 2) initial_token unset, num_tokens unset = cassandra (until 2.0) picks a single token via range bisection 3) initial_token unset, num_tokens set = cassandra uses num_tokens number of vnodes Are you saying this is not the behavior you saw? =Rob
