It's a string instead of an int precisely because there is no such list; different systems can put anything they want there. For instance, node movement will cause the new token to be encoded there.

I have found the HeartBeatState, ApplicationState and EndPointState (http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureGossip) classes but I cannot find a list of values which can appear in the fields of the AplicationState (int version_; String state_;) mostly state_, because version is, as I understood it, just for control. Could anyone give any detail on how the states are organized, and what values should I expect. Thanks in advance, BoriS
