Re: cassandra consistency level

2011-08-03 Thread Eldad Yamin
So what you're saying is that no matter what consistency level I'm using, the data will be written to all CF nodes right away, the consistency level is just for making sure that all CF nodes are UP and all data is written. In other words, if one of the nodes is down - the write (or read) will fail.
