Yes, not being able to configure the replication factor differently for each
data center is a bit annoying. Im assuming you basically want DC1 to have a
replication factor of {DC1:2, DC2:1} and DC2 to have {DC1:1,DC2:2}.
I would very much like that feature as well, but I dont know the feasibility of
it.
