Hi all, I'm just trying to understand better how cassandra works.
My understanding is that, once set, the number of vnodes does not change in a cluster. The partitioner allocates vnodes to nodes ensuring replication data are not stored on the same node. But what happens if there are more nodes than vnodes? If I set num_tokens to 3 and I have 5 servers? Unless the partitioner adds vnodes and moves data around but it seems an extremely expensive operation. I'm sure I'm missing something, I'm not quite sure what! :) Thanks, Luca
