Re: nodetool loadbalance

With my six node cluster ... nodetool loadbalance should be run on one
node or all six?  I run it on one and the ownership percentage gets
even more unbalanced.  So... in the spirit of the evening, I run it on
another node ..... as you see, the ownership % keeps increasing and
the token numbers keep increasing.  is this expected?  I would have
hoped that the behaviour would be a little bit different.  Maybe I've
missed something big....

Yes, a lot of what is on the wiki makes perfect sense when read the right
way.  suppose there arent enough pictures or before/after info online to
help the knowledge flow.

You should read http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations before
running loadbalance.

Re: nodetool loadbalance

Posted by Sasha Dolgy <sd...@gmail.com>.
Using the tokens I generated earlier, i ran nodetool move <new token>
on each node and things look much better for the Owns % ...

All of these nodes had been brought online using auto_bootstrap, with
exception for the very first one, which was a seed for the rest.  Is
this a necessary task that has to be performed on all nodes as new
nodes are added ... to maintain a good balance ... in that the tokens
don't re-balance themselves?

Or, as this is a test environment with low load, there isn't enough
good data for the bootstrap to determine where best to put the new
node token?
