Hi I am starting using Cassandra for not a long time, and also have problems in consistency.
Here is some thinking. If you have Write:Any / Read:One, it will have consistency problem, and if you want to repair, check your schema, and check the parameter "Read repair chance: " http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration And if you want to get consistency result, my suggestion is to have Write:ALL / Read:One, since for Cassandra, write is more faster then read. For performance impact, you need to test your traffic, and if your memory can not cache all your data, or your network is not fast enough, then yes, it will impact to write one more node.
