Hello, I am currently using num_tokens: 256 in my cluster with the version 3.11.6 and when I looked at the Cassandra4.0 I see the num_tokens set to 16.
Is there a specific reason for changing the default value from 256 to 16? What is the best value to use ? If 16 is recommended, is there a way to change the num_tokens to 16 from 256 on the live production cluster? I tried to directly update and restart Cassandra but the process won't startup with the below error org.apache.cassandra.exceptions.ConfigurationException: Cannot change the > number of tokens from 256 to 16 Any suggestions?
