Thanks Rob. I think you are right on it. Here is what I found:
https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-1.1.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/dht/RangeStreamer.java#L140 It sorts the end point by proximity and in https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/cassandra-1.1.0/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/dht/RangeStreamer.java#L171 It fetches the data from the only one source. That answers my question. So we will have to run repair after the bootstrap to make sure the consistency.

As I understand it, bootstrap occurs from a single replica. Which replica is chosen is based on some internal estimation of which is closest/least loaded/etc. But only from a single replica, so in RF=3, in order to be consistent with both you still have to run a repair. =Rob -- =Robert Coli AIM>ALK - rc...@palominodb.com YAHOO - rcoli.palominob SKYPE - rcoli_palominodb
