Assuming your RF is 2 (not 1), and that you are reading at consistency level ONE (not QUORUM, which would be 2 in the case of RF=2), single-node failures should be tolerated. In order for people to help you'd have to specify some more informaton. For example, your "site goes down" - but what is the actual error condition w.r.t. Cassandra? What is the error reported by the Cassandra client (and which client is it)? I'm not sure what you mean w.r.t. boostrap/master etc. All nodes should be entirely equal, with the exception of nodes that are marked as seed nodes. But seed nodes going down should not cause reads and writes to fail. -- / Peter Schuller
