             Summary: nodetool ring output should reflect rack perturbation
                 Key: CASSANDRA-13439
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13439
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Distributed Metadata
            Reporter: Brian Gallew


Currently, "nodetool ring $KEYSPACE" shows ownership based entirely upon token distribution.  However, the *actual* ownership must also account for rack information.  As an example, for a table with RF=3 in a cluster with three racks, if the ring order of nodes/racks is, e.g. node1-rack1, node2-rack2, node3-rack1, node-4rack2, node5-rack3, ...
It will turn out that node5 shares ownership with node1, node2, node3, and node4 because of rack distribution rules.  Not only is this potentially unexpected, it's also somewhat difficult to reason about exactly how the data will be distributed.  It would be really convenient if nodetool could tell us this distribution.
