Hi Traian, There is your problem. You are using RF=1, meaning that each node is responsible for its range, and nothing more. So when a node goes down, do the math, you just can't read 1/5 of your data.
This is very cool for performances since each node owns its own part of the data and any write or read need to reach only one node, but it removes the SPOF, which is a main point of using C*. So you have poor availability and poor consistency. An usual configuration with 5 nodes would be RF=3 and both CL (R&W) = QUORUM. This will replicate your data to 2 nodes + the natural endpoints (total of 3/5 nodes owning any data) and any read or write would need to reach at least 2 nodes before being considered as being successful ensuring a strong consistency. This configuration allow you to shut down a node (crash or configuration update/rolling restart) without degrading the service (at least allowing you to reach any data) but at cost of more data on each node.
