I believe I don't quite understand semantics of this exception: me.prettyprint.hector.api.exceptions.HUnavailableException: : May not be enough replicas present to handle consistency level.
Does it mean there *might be* enough? Does it mean there *is not* enough? My case is as following - I have 3 nodes with keyspaces configured as following: Replication Strategy: org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy Durable Writes: true Options: [DC2:2, DC1:2] Hector can only connect to nodes in DC1 and configured to neither see nor connect to nodes in DC2. This is for replication by Cassandra means, asynchronously between datacenters DC1 and DC2. Each of 6 total nodes can see any of the remaining 5. and inserts with LOCAL_QUORUM CL work fine when all 3 nodes are up. However, this morning one node went down and I started seeing the HUnavailableException: : May not be enough replicas present to handle consistency level. I believed if I have 3 nodes and one goes down, two remaining nodes are sufficient for my configuration. Please help me to understand what's going on.
