What Colin is saying is that the tool you used to create the token, is not creating tokens usable for the Murmur3Partitioner. That tool is probably generating tokens for the (original) RandomPartitioner, which has a different range. On 05/17/2014 07:20 PM, Tim Dunphy wrote: Hi and thanks

Looks like you may have put the token next to num-tokens property in the yaml file for one node. I would double check the yaml's to make sure the tokens are setup correctly and that the ip addresses are associated with the right entries as well. Compare them to a fresh download if possible to
