schema-sample.txt: Comment explaining Quorum to counter beginner's mistake --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2705 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2705 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Timo Nentwig Fix For: 0.7.7, 0.8.1 After stumbling upon this pitfall *twice* (yeah, it's okay to call me stupid, but I'm your customer anyways :) I suggest a simple comment in the Keyspace1 example like this: replication_factor defines the total number of nodes holding the data. quorum with a RF < 3 provides no fault tolerance, because with a RF=2 data is written to 2 nodes in total (if one fails, only one remaining can be checked while 2 are actually required to meet quorum). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
