-------------------------------------------
Obsoleted by vnodes.
> Make auto bootstrap smarter
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-3517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3517
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chris Goffinet
> Priority: Minor
>
> Just wanted to create this before I forget. One of the things we noticed when
> we were looking over the auto bootstrap code:
> When the bootstrapping node tries to determine its token, it looks at the
> ring for the node with the most 'load'. It then sends a message to that node
> to split its range. The function on that node will sample the keys to figure
> out where it should split the range. This can actually be very bad. If you
> have a data model where you have very few keys, and very wide rows the token
> it picks could be very bad. We should make this more auto bootstrap more
> intelligent than just looking at the node with the most disk space.
