I have 6 nodes in a cluster running RandonPartitioner with SimpleStrategy and replication factor 3. Lets say we insert a column with a QUORUM consistency. Based on the md5 hash it decides to go to node 10.19.104.11. How does cassandra pick the other 2 nodes? Is it sequential ( .12 and .13 ) or any random node?
