Uneven Cassandra load

Should a three node Cassandra cluster with a replication factor of 3 have the same load value for all three nodes?



We are using a random partitioner and NetworkTopologyStrategy. Nodetool ring shows equal values for "Owns" but unequal values for "Load".




Load            Owns    Token                                       
113427455640312821154458202477256070484
16.53 GB 33.33% 0
14.8 GB 33.33% 56713727820156410577229101238628035242
15.65 GB 33.33% 113427455640312821154458202477256070484


Running nodetool repair and cleanup on each node brought the load a little closer but it still seems quite unbalanced.




Is this considered normal?
