Sumanth Pasupuleti commented on CASSANDRA-14557: ------------------------------------------------ [~jeromatron] yes it goes beyond, in the sense. * CASSANDRA-14303 focuses on not having to mention all the required datacenters during keyspace creation, rather leaving it to C* to figure out the data centers, while this ticket focuses on replication factor * default_keyspace_rf can work complementary to CASSANDRA-14303 in the sense, if user does not specify replication_factor during keyspace creation, default_keyspace_rf could be used. * default_keyspace_rf would be applicable for C* system keyspace creations (like system_auth) in addition to user created keyspaces * required_minimum_keyspace_rf is a configuration that will prevent any keyspace creations with an rf lower than what is configured > Consider adding default and required keyspace replication options > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-14557 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-14557 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Configuration > Reporter: Sumanth Pasupuleti > Assignee: Sumanth Pasupuleti > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 4.0 > > > Ending up with a keyspace of RF=1 is unfortunately pretty easy in C* right > now - the system_auth table for example is created with RF=1 (to take into > account single node setups afaict from CASSANDRA-5112), and a user can > further create a keyspace with RF=1 posing availability and streaming risks > (e.g. rebuild). > I propose we add two configuration options in cassandra.yaml: > # {{default_keyspace_rf}} (default: 1) - If replication factors are not > specified, use this number. > # {{required_minimum_keyspace_rf}} (default: unset) - Prevent users from > creating a keyspace with an RF less than what is configured > These settings could further be re-used to: > * Provide defaults for new keyspaces created with SimpleStrategy or > NetworkTopologyStrategy (CASSANDRA-14303) > * Make the automatic token allocation algorithm interface more intuitive > allowing easy use of the new token allocation algorithm. > At the end of the day, if someone really wants to allow RF=1, they simply > don’t set the setting. For backwards compatibility the default remains 1 and > C* would create with RF=1, and would default to current behavior of allowing > any RF on keyspaces. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: commits-unsubscr...@cassandra.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: commits-h...@cassandra.apache.org
