Right. Also consider that if you did have local replicas in each DC you could get low-latency reads from that as well. Cassandra is designed to trade some replication overhead for latency and reliability; generally you're better served by accepting that instead of fighting it. :) -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair, Apache Cassandra co-founder of DataStax, the source for professional Cassandra support http://www.datastax.com
