So I have three nodes in a ring in one data center. My configuration has
num_tokens: 256 set and initial_token commented out. When I look at the ring,
it shows me all of the token ranges of course, and basically identical data for
each range on each node. Here is the Cliff's Notes version of what I see:
[root@Config3482VM2 apache-cassandra-1.2.0]# bin/nodetool ring

So at this point I have a number of questions. The biggest question is of
Load. Why does the .125 node have 2.85 GB, .126 has 1.15 GB, and .127 has only
0.000069 GB? These boxes are all comparable and all configured identically.

I'm sorry to ask so many questions - I'm having a hard time finding
documentation that explains this stuff.
