Hi all,
Please, i'd like to discuss again this question:
*What is the motivation for choosing a DHT ring in cassandra? Why not use a
normal parallel or distributed file system that supports replication?*
@Utkarsh Sengar:
*Where in the Dynamo paper is such argumentation?*
Did you mean these paragrap
With fault tolerance and reliability, it also gives a faster lookup
mechanism across various nodes in a cluster.
Amazon's dynamo paper might be a better read to understand the reasoning
behind a DHT based system:

Some reasons I can come up with:
- it would be hard to have tunable read/consistencies/replicas when
interfacing with a file system.
- data locality support would require strong coupling to the distributed
file system interface (if at all possible given that certain sstables
should live on the same
