space available on a node. For disk fault tolerance and data redundancy, there are two reasonable approaches: • Use RAID0 on your data volume and rely on Cassandra replication for disk failure tolerance each data center is individually load balanced as well. See Calculating Tokens for the different approaches to generating tokens for nodes in single and multi-data center clusters. Snitch Settings The a particular node. Assuming you are using the RandomPartitioner (the default partitioner), the approaches described in this section will ensure even data distribution. Calculating Tokens 39 Each node
