instead of running that python and having one node with non-vnode config, i
remove the first seed node and re-add it after cluster was fully up ? so the
token ranges of first seed node would also be assigned by Allocation Alg I
think this is tricky because the random allocation of the very first tokens
from the first seed affects the choice of tokens made by the algorithm on the
rest of the nodes: it basically tries to divide the token ranges in more or
less equal parts. If your very first 8 tokens resulted in really bad balance,
you are not going to remove that imbalance by removing the node, it would still
have the lasting effect on the rest of your cluster. -- Alex
