| <p>Pre-generates tokens for a datacenter with the given number of nodes using the token allocation algorithm. Useful in edge-cases when generated tokens needs to be known in advance of bootstrapping nodes. In nearly all cases it is best to just let the bootstrapping nodes automatically generate their own tokens. |
