Okay, I¹ll take the bait. I apologize if I come off rude here (you
certainly don¹t seem to care though if you do) but if you want production
ready enterprise QA tested code please see Datastax Enterprise. Just
because you didn¹t choose to use what is offered doesn¹t mean it doesn¹t
exist. Much like
I decided to implement it in my cassandra too, but i am using
zookeeper for cluster management.
I scraped idea of consistent hashing with random tokens. There is too
much variance with effective ranges allocated to nodes in large cluster,
you need to have lot of ranges which is quite large ove
cassandra vnodes are just implementation of consistent hashing or there
are some improvements to make similar sized split sizes?
