The last sentence should have been "In other words, does R apply also to
(possibly failed) read attempts or only to successful reads?"

We have a Column Family that is immutable (no updates after the first write).
Suppose we use RF=2 and W=1. Do we still need R=2, so that R+W>RF? Or is it
sufficient to have R=1? My guess is yes, R=1 is sufficient since if it reads a
row, the row has to be correct: it can't get stale data.
