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).
