Description

Some settings default to values that are known to cause issues for example num_tokens has a default value of 256. Anybody who has operated Cassandra knows to lower it. Setting this as default will cause users issues and has proven problematic.

Let’s evaluate the defaults in cassandra.yaml and update them for Cassandra 4.0.
