Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-437:
------------------------------------------
My comments from IRC:
what i was thinking is when a node joins the ring then you just store ip ->
token. so the place to look is storageservice.onchange.
no need to expose in nodeprobe; in the system table the data is available by
thrift if necessary.
> record token/endpoint (ip) pairs in system table

> Each node records its own token after generating one or reading it from the
> config file. For more redundancy we should record others' tokens too.
> This should not be regarded as canonical information -- do not use it to take
> shortcuts instead of using gossip. It is only to provide redundancy in case
> of failure.
> For instance, if your cluster loses power and when it comes back up, the disk
> w/ token information on one of your machines is dead, this will let you get
> that token information easily from another node instead of having to guess by
> scanning sstables. This is not a theoretical scenario; something of this
> nature did happen to FB.
