I targeted the dev list because I would like to know why the developer (patch by branimir and reviewed by benedict) mentions "Only supported with the Murmur3Partitioner" whereas his patch uses IPartitioner interface. (I will try to reach them on IRC if they don't see this message.)

We have running clusters which use RandomPartitioner that's why I wonder if we could use this feature in the future. Best, Romain

RandomPartitioner is included for backwards compatibility, though not suggested for new projects. As far as I know Murmur is faster and offers less hotspots in token allocation. Cheers, Russ On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 10:04 AM, Romain Hardouin wrote: > Hi all, > > cassandra.yaml mentions that the

Hi all, cassandra.yaml mentions that the new token allocation algorithm is only supported with the Murmur3Partitioner [1]. When looking at the commit [2] I see that IPartitioner interface is used. I do see references to Murmur3Partitioner but only in tests classes. What would prevent to use Rand
