Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2917:
-------------------------------------------

bq. I agree its very verbose and only went down that route as I saw them used in a few other places in the codebase

Sorry about that. :)

bq. what's the best branch to work off when creating small patches like this

When in doubt, stick with trunk. In this case I'm comfortable committing to 1.1 as well since it's pretty self-contained.

> currently there is no easy way to get midrange, especially for OPP. For simplicity, you could call OrderPreservingPartitioner.midpoint(Token, Token), that gives you a rough estimate (and you'd still need to remove non-utf8 characters.)
> A more accurate but difficult way is to sample the keys in that range and pick the midpoint of those. We should expose that via jmx, because without this, supporting OPP w/o this is quite challenging.
