I saw the operations page, but didn't get what I was looking for. What I meant by my earlier statement was that it is not clear to me who assigns the token to a new node; if a node goes down, and another process comes up, is (a) the token assigned to it automatically by consensus (and the bootstrap process gives it a place in the ring where it needs most load balancing), or, (b) it is an external script's responsibility to bootstrap every node with a new initialtoken?

I'm not sure what you mean, but
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations may clear some things up.

Fair enough. But doesn't that mean that the node that comes up has the same token? I suppose the answer is that the auto bootstrap process is smart
enough to figure out which range needs help.
