Did you run "nodetool cleanup" on first node after second was bootstrapped? It should clean rows not belonging to node after tokens changed.

I have a single node C* deployment (with 270 GB of data) and want to load balance the data on multiple nodes, I followed this guide `nodetool status` shows 2 nodes but load is not balanced between them Datacenter: dc1 =============== Status=Up/Down |/ State=Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving -- Address Load Tokens Owns (effective) Host ID Rack UN 10.128.0.7 270.75 GiB 256 48.6% 1a3f6faa-4376-45a8-9c20-11480ae5664c rack1 UN 10.128.0.14 414.36 KiB 256 51.4% 66a89fbf-08ba-4b5d-9f10-55d52a199b41 rack1 I also ran 'nodetool repair' on new node but result is same. any pointers would be appreciated :) conf file of new node cluster_name: 'cluster1' - seeds: "10.128.0.7" num_tokens: 256 endpoint_snitch: GossipingPropertyFileSnitch Thanks, Junaid
