The n_val represents the number of copies of the data, regardless of the number
of servers in the cluster. If you have n_val=3 and only 1 server, 3 copies of
each piece of data will be on that server (and performance will be generally
abysmal because every read and write request will effectively
Thanks Luke. I don't want to increase the n_val. All I'm worried is with
the default value of 3, with one node would there be any reliability
issues. Because there are no other nodes to replicate but according to the
configuration 2 other nodes might be expected.
Can we continue with single node a
Hi Santi,
The default n_val is actually 3. If you start with one node and add
nodes there will be no issue.
You can increase the n_val but requests for objects may return
not_found until read repair or AAE fixes the replicas.

Hi,
I'm new to the Riak. I know the default value of n_val is 2, but is it
possible to start with one node, no replication initially and then start
adding the nodes and increase the replication factor.
What happens if I run only a single node without changing the default
values? Does it cause any
