Aaron Turner created CASSANDRA-4550:
---------------------------------------
Summary: nodetool ring output should use hex not integers for
tokens
Key: CASSANDRA-4550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4550
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Tools
Affects Versions: 1.0.9
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Aaron Turner
Priority: Minor
The current output of nodetool ring prints start token values as base10
integers instead of hex. This is not very user friendly for a number of
reasons:
1. Hides the fact that the values are 128bit
2. Values are not of a consistent length, while in hex padding with zero is
generally accepted
3. When using the default random partitioner, having the values in hex makes it
easier for users to determine which node(s) a given key resides on since md5
utilities like md5sum output hex.
