Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4125:
---------------------------------------------
bq. Is this because it's one aspect of monitoring / maintaining balance between
the nodes?
More as a quick check since, even with vnodes, you can create a large imbalance
via fat rows.
bq. Do you think this will be less relevant now?
To some degree, but not completely.
I think new users want to be able to see how much space their cluster is using
at a glance, and foresee a lot of complaints if we remove it at this point.
Also, it's easier to say "send me your ring output" than "send me the ring
output, then the output of info from each node" and space used is still
pertinent information to have, outside of balance issues.

> The proposed changes are intended to preserve backwards compatibility:
> || op || behaviour || deprecated warning?
> | join | Join the ring, use with {{-t}} to join at a specific token, or to
> add a token to an existing host |
> | ring | prints the first token for each node, add {{-a}} to print all tokens
> |
> | move <new token> | if the node only has 1 token then move it. Otherwise die
> with an error. | *deprecated*
> | removetoken status/force/<token> | removes the node who owns <token> from
> the ring. use {{-t}} option to only remove the token from the node instead of
> the whole node. |
> | describering [keyspace] | show all ranges and their endpoints |
> | getendpoints <keyspace> <cf> <key> | Print the endpoints that own the key
> and also their list of tokens |
