The "StorageConfiguration" page has been changed by tuxracer69. The comment on this change is: InitialToken . http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration?action=diff&rev1=6&rev2=7 -------------------------------------------------- <InitialToken></InitialToken> }}} + + Cassandra uses MD5 hash internally to hash the keys to place on the ring in a {{{RandomPartitioner}}}. So it makes sense to divide the hash space equally by the number of + machines available using {{{InitialToken}}} ie, If there are 10 machines, each will handle 1/10th of maximum hash value) and expect that the machines will get a reasonably equal load. + == EndPointSnitch == !EndPointSnitch: Setting this to the class that implements {{{IEndPointSnitch}}} which will see if two endpoints are in the same data center or on the same rack. Out of the box, Cassandra provides {{{org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch}}}
