Hi everyone, Since Cassandra uses MD5 hash internally to hash the keys to place on the ring in a RandomPartitioner, how evenly distributed are the hashes across the hash space?
Does it make 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? Thanks Ray
