In Hector when you create a cluster using the API, you specify an IP address & cluster name. Thereafter internally which node serves the request or how many nodes need to be contacted to read/write data depends on the cluster configuration i.e. Whats your replication strategy, factor, consistency levels for the col family , how many nodes are there in the ring etc. So you don't individually need to connect to each node via Hector client. Once you connect to the cluster & keyspace, via any IP add of any node in the cluster, when you make Hector calls to read/write data, it would automatically figure out the node level details and carry out the task. You won't get 50% of the data, you will get all data.
Also when you remove a node, your data will be unavailable ONLY if you don't have it available in some other node as a replica..
