[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-4443) shuffle utility for vnodes

["Eric Evans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4443?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13423519#comment-13423519 ] 

Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-4443:
---------------------------------------

bq. Eric has some notes up at http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/VirtualNodes/Balance on implementation but a wiki is a lousy discussion medium so I'll post here:

It is, but so is Jira. :)

I'm not trying to start a discussion on the wiki, I just wanted to get down the general requirements and brain-storm a bit so that any subsequent discussion (if needed) might be more productive.

bq. shuffle should operate on the entire cluster, at least by default. Shuffling node at a time means that for each node i for i in 0..N-1 (where N is the cluster size), i/N of the ranges shuffled will, on average, have been shuffled at least once already. So it's substantially less efficient than shuffling once, then assigning the vnodes out in one cluster-wide pass.

Yeah, this is exactly the sort of thing I was trying to capture (and I've added it).

> As mentioned on CASSANDRA-4127, for upgrades we need a 'shuffle' command to split up the contiguous ranges.
