Good morning!
I have a been reading through Cassandra wiki and have some confusion around how
hinted handoffs work.
Here is my scenario:
Five nodes in the ring (A, B, C, D, E)
Replication factor=3
Assume that the replicas for a given key are A, B, C
Assume CL=ONE
During a write operation, nodes B and C are down.
Will hints for B and C be written to just A (the only live replica available)
or
will D and E also take the hints and the data?
If D and E take on the hints+data, will that data be reachable during a
subsequent read operation? (assuming B and C are still down)
Would appreciate a clarification.
TIA
