Mohit,
I believe Tom's book (Hadoop: The Definitive Guide) covers this
precisely well. Perhaps others too.
Replication is a best-effort sort of thing. If 2 nodes are all that is
available, then two replicas are written and one is left to the
replica monitor service to replicate later as possible

Just trying to understand what happens if there are 3 nodes with
replication set to 3 and one node fails. Does it fail the writes too?
If there is a link that I can look at will be great. I tried searching
but didn't see any definitive answer.
Thanks,
Mohit
