--------------------------------------

             Summary: Repair process is violating the start/end token limits 
for small ranges
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13052
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13052
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Streaming and Messaging
         Environment: We tried this in 2.0.14 and 3.9, same bug.
            Reporter: Cristian P
            Priority: Minor


We tried to do a single token repair by providing 2 consecutive token values 
for a large column family. We soon notice heavy streaming and according to the 
logs the number of ranges streamed was in thousands.
After investigation we found a bug in the two partitioner classes we use 
(RandomPartitioner and Murmur3Partitioner).
The midpoint method used by MerkleTree.differenceHelper method to find ranges 
with differences for streaming returns abnormal values (way out of the initial 
range requested for repair) if the repair requested range is small (I expect 
smaller than 2^15).
Here is the simple code to reproduce the bug for Murmur3Partitioner:

Token left = new Murmur3Partitioner.LongToken(123456789L);
Token right = new Murmur3Partitioner.LongToken(123456789L);
IPartitioner partitioner = new Murmur3Partitioner();
Token midpoint = partitioner.midpoint(left, right);
System.out.println("Murmur3: [ " + left.getToken() + " : " + 
midpoint.getToken() + " : " + right.getToken() + " ]");

The output is:
Murmur3: [ 123456789 : -9223372036731319019 : 123456789 ]

Note that the midpoint token is nowhere near the suggested repair range. This 
will happen if during the parsing of the tree (in MerkleTree.differenceHelper) 
in search for differences  there isn't enough tokens for the split and the 
subrange becomes 0 (left.token=right.token) as in the above test.
