>>c. Read with CL = QUORUM. If read hits node1 and node2/node3, new data that was written to node1 will be returned.
>>In this case - N1 will be identified as a discrepancy and the change will be discarded via read repair >>[Naren] How will Cassandra know this is a discrepancy? Because at Q - only N1 will have the "new data" and other other nodes won't. This lack of consistency on N! will be detected and repaired. The value that meets Q - the values from N2-3 - will be returned. HTH
