@Chaitanya_Tondlekar: what is the best value to set num_tokens on scylla 6.1 (Tablets) ?
Is it correct to use(num_tokens=1) single-token mode + tablets for better performance and scalability in tablets ?
@dor: I might be wrong but IIUC num_tokens is the amount of vnodes. It’s irrelevant if all of your tables are tablets. Otherwise, just use the default (I think it’s 256)
@Chaitanya_Tondlekar: Yes considering scylla 6.1 , all keyspaces have tablets enabled.
@avi: num_tokens is immaterial for tablets
@Chaitanya_Tondlekar: @avi so what should we set ?
@dor: If it’s all tablets, it doesn’t matter. Otherwise, use the default (256)
