["Jonathan Ellis (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3709?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13181497#comment-13181497 ] 

Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-3709:
-------------------------------------------

Here's the one we have in the DataStax docs.  It could stand a little improvement, e.g. adding a help section, being more graceful w/ non integer input.

{{
#! /usr/bin/python
import sys
if (len(sys.argv) > 1):
    num=int(sys.argv[1])
else:
    num=int(raw_input("How many nodes are in your cluster? "))
for i in range(0, num):
    print 'token %d: %d' % (i, (i*(2**127)/num))
}}

> We recommend spacing nodes in a new cluster evenly around the ring; we should provide a tool to generate appropriate tokens for a cluster of size X.
