As I understand the num_tokens setting, it makes Cassandra do the following
pseudocode when a new node is added:
for 1...num_tokens do
my_token = rand(0, 2^128-1)
next_token = min(tokens in cluster where token > my_token)
my_range = (my_token, next_token - 1)
done
Now the new node owns n
The Datastax docs repeatedly say (e.g.
http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.2/install/install_jre) that Java 7 is not
recommended, but they don't say why. It would be helpful to know this. Does
anyone know?
The same documentation is referenced from the Cassandra wiki, for example,
http://wiki.apache.org
