Say I have a cluster of N nodes and I have started all the nodes with a replication factor of N. So effectively all data is being mirrored everywhere.
Now, when I write to a node, how does this data get propagated to the remaining N-1 nodes. 1) Does this one origin node do N-1 network operations to send the data off 2) or does the data replication happen in some special distributed manner (say origin node writes it to its neigbhors who further write it to their neighbors and so on ) I need to know this because I am thinking about what happens when say the link between two datacenters is down.
