First of all, in your example W=CL? If it so, then the success of any read / write operarion will be determine by if the CL required can be satisfied in that moment.
If you write with CL ONE over a CF with RF 3 when 1 node of the replicas is down, then the operarion will success and HitedHandOff will manage to propagate the op through the falling node when it comes up. Instead, when you execute the same OP using CL QUORUM, then it means RF /2+1, it will try to write on the coordinator node and replica. Considering only 1 replica is down, the OP will success too. Now consider same OP but with CL ALL, it will fail since it cant assure that coordinador and both replicas are updated. Hope you can understand the relation between CL and RF Enviado desde mi iPhone El 23/02/2011, a las 21:43, mcasandra <mohitanch...@gmail.com> escribió: > > I am reading this again http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/HintedHandoff and > got little confused.
