---------------------------------------------
A token greater than 2^127 is invalid.
> Random Partitioner does not check if tokens are outside of its range
> --------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-3880
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3880
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7.6, 1.0.7
> Reporter: Marcel Steinbach
> Assignee: Harish Doddi
> Priority: Minor
>
> Setting up a ring where the tokens are outside RP's token range leads to an
> unbalanced cluster. The partitioner still reports equally distributed
> ownership since it calculates ownership only with the _distances_ of the
> tokens in relation to the maximum token.
> E.g. maximum token = 15
> token1 = 5
> token2 = 10
> token3 = 15
> token4 = 20
> ownership4 = (token4 - token3) / maximum_token = 5 / 15 = 1/3
> So token4 claims to own 33.33% of the ring but is not responsible for any
> primary replicas.
