Description

If "data_file_directories" configuration is enabled with multiple directories, data is partitioned by token range so that data gets distributed evenly. But the current documentation says that "Cassandra will spread data evenly across them, subject to the granularity of the configured compaction strategy". Need to update this comment to reflect the correct behavior.
