I agree with you totally. but I want to know which node is the data kept? I mean which way to know the actual data kept?

As I know, I just have one replica The schema (keyspaces and column families) are global across the cluster (anything else would not make a lot of sense I think). The replication factor determines the number of replicas of actual data, based on row key. Given replication factor one, the data should only show up on one node (assuming a single row), but all nodes will be aware of your keyspace/column family. -- / Peter Schuller
