Michael Yes indeed - my mistake. Thanks. I can specify RandomPartitioner, since I do not use indexing - yet.
Just for informational purposes - with Murmur3 - to achieve a balanced cluster - is the initial token method supported? If so - how should these be generated, the token-generator seems to only apply to RandomPartitioner.
