This was exactly the kind of problem I was foreseeing. I don't see any
simple way of fixing it without introducing some shuffle-like nightmare
that does a whole bunch of token movements though. On the other hand we
could just document best practice, and also make it so that by default you
have to c
Sounds good to me. I'm going to play around with the algorithm and actually
record some numbers/evidence over the next week to help us decide.

This sounds worthy of a bug report! We should at least document any such
inadequacy, and come up with a plan to fix it. It would be great if you could
file a ticket with a detailed example of the problem.

I am a big fan of lowering the default number of tokens for many
reasons (availability, repair, etc...). I also agree there are some
usability blockers to "just lowering the number today", but I very
much agree that the current default of 256 random tokens is a huge bug
I hope we fix by 4.0 release
Late comment, but I'll write it anyway.
The main advantage of random allocation over the new allocation strategy is
that it seems to be significantly better when dealing with node *removals*,
when the order of removal is not the inverse of the order of addition. This
can lead to severely unbalance
Let's pick a default setup that works for most people (IME clusters <
30 nodes, but TLP and Instaclustr peeps probably have the most insight
here).
Then we just explain the heck out of it in the comments. I would also
like to see this include some details add/remove a DC to change the
values (perh
Only that it makes it easier to spin up a cluster.
I'm for removing it entirely as well, however I think we should keep it
around at least until the next major just as a safety precaution until the
algorithm is properly battle tested.
This is not a strongly held opinion though, I'm just foreseein
Is there a use case for random allocation? How does it help with testing? I
can’t see a reason to keep it around.

We've tested various num_tokens with the algorithm on various sized
clusters and we've found that typically 16 works best. With lower numbers

There already have been some discussions on this here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13701
The mentioned blocker there on the token allocation shouldn't exist
anymore. Although it would be good to get more feedback on it, in case
we want to enable it by default, along with new de
We are using 8 or 16 tokens internally, with the token allocation algorithm
enabled. The range distribution is good for us.

I have created CASSANDRA-14784 to track this.

Putting it on JIRA is to make sure someone is assigned to it and it is tracked.
Changes should be discussed over ML like you are saying.

Changing a default is a pretty big deal, I think we should discuss any
changes to defaults here on the ML before moving it into JIRA. It's nice
to get a bit more discussion around the change than what happens in JIRA.

Thanks Jon for starting this.We should create a JIRA to find what other
defaults we need revisit. (Please keep this discussion for "default token"
only. )

Also agree it should be lowered, but definitely not to 1, and probably
something closer to 32 than 4.

I agree that it should be lowered. What I’ve seen debated a bit in the past is
the number but I don’t think anyone thinks that it should remain 256.

Logistics aside, I think it is a good idea to default 1 token (or a low
number). Let the user understand what it means to go beyond 1 and tune things
based on their needs.

One thing that's really, really bothered me for a while is how we default
to 256 tokens still. There's no experienced operator that leaves it as is
at this point, meaning the only people using 256 are the poor folks that
just got started using C*. I've worked with over a hundred clusters in the
