[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-4383) Binary encoding of vnode tokens

["Brandon Williams (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4383?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brandon Williams updated CASSANDRA-4383:
----------------------------------------

    Attachment: 0001-Add-HOST_ID-and-TOKENS-app-states-binary-serialization.txt

Patch to promote hostId and tokens to their own app states.  I decided to suppress tokens in the gossipinfo output, and likewise left hostIds as strings, since the savings from encoding those in binary is not much and maintaining a list of things we do need to convert back to a human readable format will get tedious.  Having a huge list of tokens in gossipinfo is actually a bit counterproductive for troubleshooting gossip issues anyway, and the information is available elsewhere.

What's left now is about a zillion tests to rewrite (again) to support the new states.

> Since after CASSANDRA-4317 we can know which version a remote node is using (that is, whether it is vnode-aware or not) this a good opportunity to change the token encoding to binary, since with a default of 256 tokens per node even a fixed-length 16 byte encoding per token provides a great deal of savings in gossip traffic over a text representation.
