Actually, if we're going to be precise, it's -2^63 to 2^63 - 1. Long.MIN_VALUE is not a valid token for technical reasons.
Do note that you can still not change partitioner, so the new partitioner is for new cluster. But that does mean that for existing ones you'll have to make sure you do keep RandomPartitioner in the yaml when you "merge" old and new yaml. It's in the NEWS file however (that I do encourage you to read, at least for new major versions). -- Sylvain On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 4:51 AM, Tyler Hobbs <ty...@datastax.com> wrote: > The Murmur3Partitioner range is from -2^63 to 2^63 - 1 (Java's > Long.MIN_VALUE to Long.MAX_VALUE). > > > On Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 8:59 PM, Brian O'Neill <b...@alumni.brown.edu>wrote: > >> >> Wow...good catch. >> >> We had puppet scripts which automatically assigned the proper tokens >> given the cluster size. >> What is the range now?
