-----------------------------------------------

I'm really curios about the problems you guys had with manually token assigments (auto bootstrap on)?

> We found loadbalance and autobootstrapping to be sub-par in production; also very risky too if it guesses anything wrong.
> We created a simple Python script that I am sure can be greatly improved to be more automated but thought we'd throw it up here anyway:

> In a nutshell: give it your current token ranges, the load for that range, and it'll suggest you the best token to help load balance your cluster when you decide to add a new node. We've used it countless times in production ourselves. Our way of contributing some small back to the community.
