Jeremiah Jordan resolved CASSANDRA-8338.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Simplify Token Selection
> ------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8338
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8338
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Config
> Reporter: Joaquin Casares
> Assignee: Jeremiah Jordan
> Priority: Trivial
> Labels: lhf
>
> When creating provisioning scripts, especially when running tools like Chef,
> each node is launched individually. When not using vnodes your initial setup
> will always be unbalanced unless you handle token assignment within your
> scripts.
> I spoke to someone recently who was using this in production and his
> operations team wasn't too pleased that they had to use OpsCenter as an extra
> step for rebalancing. Instead, we should provide this functionality out of
> the box for new clusters.
> Instead, could we have the following options below the initial_token section?
> {CODE}
> # datacenter_index: 0
> # node_index: 0
> # datacenter_size: 1
> {CODE}
> The above configuration options, when uncommented, would do the math of:
> {CODE}
> token = node_index * (range / datacenter_size) + (datacenter_index * 1000000)
> + start_of_range
> {CODE}
> This means that users don't have to repeatedly implement the initial_token
> selection code nor know the range and offsets of their partitioner.
