Hi Luca,
For any request Riak will ask 3 vnodes for an object's value (assuming N=3).
If a majority of vnodes return "not found", Riak will return "not found" to
the client. When a node is taken down other nodes can act as a fallback for
that node. When a fallback node takes over for a primary nod
I think it has to do with how the vnodes are partitioned against your
physical nodes. You really need a minimum of three physical nodes (or
virtual machines) to deploy and or do any failure testing.

I've come across some issues while testing what happens when failures happen
on our system, for example a machine failing. One of the (slightly scary)
issues I have come across is for a short while when a Riak node goes down,
data that is read from another node isn't always consistent. I h
