This is actually a point of confusion for a lot of new users. It seems obvious for people who know the internals or who have been around since pre-NTS/vnodes, but it's really not. Especially because NTS makes it seem like there are two separate rings. > that's a manual thing you did, Cassandra didn't do it for you, right?

I was under the impression that you couldn't 'steal' a token from another node (thought C* stopped you), and I misread the code. It actually gives the token up to the new node - not the other way round. I haven't thought about it long enough to really consider what the behaviour should be, or whether the current behaviour is right or wrong though.
