	// assuming a partion size of S+1. If we succed, it means that the optimal assignment
	// was not optimal. The naive algorithm is the following :
	// - we compute the max number of partitions associated to every node, capped at the
	// partition number. It gives the number of tokens of every node.
	// - every zone has a number of tokens equal to the sum of the tokens of its nodes.
	// - we cycle over the partitions and associate zone tokens while respecting the
	// zone redundancy constraint.
	// NOTE: the naive algorithm is not optimal. Counter example:
	// take nb_partition = 3  ; replication_factor = 5; redundancy = 4;
	// number of tokens by zone : (A, 4), (B,1), (C,4), (D, 4), (E, 2)
	// With these parameters, the naive algo fails, whereas there is a solution:
