> Setting up a ring where the tokens are outside RP's token range leads to an unbalanced cluster. The partitioner still reports equally distributed ownership since it calculates ownership only with the _distances_ of the tokens in relation to the maximum token. 
> E.g. maximum token = 15
> token1 = 5
> token2 = 10
> token3 = 15
> token4 = 20
> ownership4 = (token4 - token3) / maximum_token = 5 / 15 = 1/3
> So token4 claims to own 33.33% of the ring but is not responsible for any primary replicas.
