I just started 5 nodes in a cluster and set a replica factor of 3 on a keyspace ks. My question is how do I know which 3 nodes will contain the data of this keyspace(or particular column family in this keyspace)?
I often read that “use a separate column family for storing our indexes”, here is link for that(http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/data_model/cfs_as_indexes), but it doesn’t have more details. Could some one point me to more detailed documentation and samples for this? Thanks
