Repair and bootstrap will be limited by the node doing repair or bootstrap, since it has to do the same amount of work whatever num_tokens is. That's what I was thinking. I normally assume repair has very little data to stream, and most of the time is taken creating the merkle trees. In

Disadvantage, hadoop support is based on the token range, so maps may equals numtokens per node * nodes number. Best Regards,Andy Hu(胡 珊) Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2013 17:25:11 -0400 Subject: cassandra 1.2.5- virtual nodes (num_token) pros/cons? From: rashmi.aros...@gmail.com To: user

It is very useful to upgrade the apps perfomance. For example, if you have a machine with X capacity, you can put the num_token=256. If you add a machine in your cluster with (X*2) capacity you can put the num_token=512. So, this new machine will receive twice the load automatically. Moreover, you
