[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-7057) Add ability to adjust number of vnodes on a node

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7057?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13975689#comment-13975689 ] 

Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-7057:
---------------------------------------------

You can handle balance with relocate, aka 'nodetool taketoken' but I don't think there's going to be any way to add tokens without adding nodes, since we'd have to bootstrap the tokens without actually putting the node into bootstrap, which makes the communication of which tokens are bootstrapping impossible.

> Currently, once a vnode server is configured with a num_tokens value, there is no defined process to to change the number of vnodes a node is responsible for.
> This could be useful for load adjustments when upgrading hardware in a server, or adjusting the number of vnodes to affect node data balance.
