It applies whenever one is bootstrapping a node. One is bootstrapping a
node whenever one starts a node with auto_bootstrap set to "true" (the
default) and with either one-or-more tokens in initial_token or num_tokens
set.
Ambiguity around implicit bootstrap behavior is why I recommend to always
populate initial_token in cassandra.yaml in normal operation.
The handy onliner below will help you if you are using vnodes. Use it after
successfully bootstrapping a vnode using node for the first time.
nodetool info -T | grep Token | awk '{print $3}' | paste -s -d,
