I noticed the switch, too.  It just depends if your reference is the
node or the key.
a doc that falls on node A will be replicated in B and C (that's
clockwise, like dynamo).
If you are looking for a replica of C, it will be at A and B
(counter-clockwise).

I don't think it really matters what the direction ends up being
though.  A node will be replicated to N unique hosts in a consistent
(but arbitrary) direction.

Personally, it makes more sense to thing of it as HostA containing
NodeA, NodeB, NodeC (or IndexA, IndexB, IndexC).  It's replicas of
nodes rather than overlapping ranges.
