I have some confused, why do the users can read the data in all nodes? I mean the data just be kept in the replica, how to achieve it?

The data will only be written to the nodes that are part of the replica set fo the row (with the exception of hinted handoff, but that's a different sstable). > If all the replica node broke down, whether the users can read the data? If *all* nodes in the replica set for a particular row are down, then you won't be able to read that row, no. -- / Peter Schuller
