Cassandra currently ships with three partitioners: ByteOrderedPartitioner, RandomPartitioner, and the (default) Murmur3Partitioner . It should be noted that the Byte Ordered Partitioner (BOP) was deprecated long ago (due to issues with hot-spotting and performance), and only exists to provide an upgrade path to users of very old Cassandra implementations. Do not try to build a new cluster using the BOP. When building a new cluster, you should stick with Murmur3Partitioner.
