Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-4383:
---------------------------------------------
As a small bonus, if we promote HOST_ID then representing that in binary is
trivial too.
> Binary encoding of vnode tokens

> Since after CASSANDRA-4317 we can know which version a remote node is using
> (that is, whether it is vnode-aware or not) this a good opportunity to change
> the token encoding to binary, since with a default of 256 tokens per node
> even a fixed-length 16 byte encoding per token provides a great deal of
> savings in gossip traffic over a text representation.
