I could understand a few dozen nodes with 256 vnodes, but hundreds is surprising. I have a whitepaper draft lying around showing how vnodes decrease availability in large clusters by orders of magnitude, I'll polish it up and send it out to the list when I get a second. In the meantime, sorry for de-railing a conversation about repair scheduling to talk about vnodes, let's chat about that in a different thread :-) -Joey
