Prior to Apache Cassandra 1.2, nodes were assigned contiguous ranges of token values. With this approach, token ranges had to be computed and configured manually, by setting the initial_token property in cassandra.yaml. A possible token distribution (using Murmur3Partitioner) with single token ranges assigned per node is as follows:
|
Node # |
Start token |
End token |
|
