Brandon, for a read with quorum CL, a response is returned to the client after half (rounded up) the replica nodes responds. Do you mean that those half are RR'ed before the response is returned to the client and the other half RR'ed asynchronously? Or is it that the other half of replicas are not RR'ed?

Yes, because on quorum or greater the RR is performed before the response is returned. Another question on same topic: Will RR use one of the node in the other datacenter as coordinator instead of sending the data to each replica (assuming they have old data)? This is to reduce the amount of network traffic between datacenters. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1530 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1530>-Brandon
