> It's been known for a little while that random vnode allocation causes
> hotspots of ownership. It should be possible to improve dramatically on this
> with deterministic allocation. I have quickly thrown together a simple greedy
> algorithm that allocates vnodes efficiently, and will repair hotspots in a
> randomly allocated cluster gradually as more nodes are added, and also
> ensures that token ranges are fairly evenly spread between nodes (somewhat
> tunably so). The allocation still permits slight discrepancies in ownership,
> but it is bound by the inverse of the size of the cluster (as opposed to
> random allocation, which strangely gets worse as the cluster size increases).
> I'm sure there is a decent dynamic programming solution to this that would be
> even better.
> If on joining the ring a new node were to CAS a shared table where a
> canonical allocation of token ranges lives after running this (or a similar)
> algorithm, we could then get guaranteed bounds on the ownership distribution
> in a cluster. This will also help for CASSANDRA-6696.
