I have couple of more quesitons:
1. What happens when RF = 3, R = 2 and W = 2 and 2 machines go down? Would read and write fail or get the results from that one machine that is up? 2. Someone in this thread mentioned that write is eventually consistent. Is it because response is returned to the client as soon as data is written to commit log. But isn't this same as other RDBMS? Oracle does the same thing it writes to REDO log and somepoint later does a checkpoint and flushes data to disk. But RDBMS is not called eventually consistent. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Understand-eventually-consistent-tp6038330p6040893.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
