Generally data isn't written to whatever node the client connects to. In your case, a row is written to one of the nodes based on the hash of the row key. If that one replica node is down, it won't matter which coordinator node you attempt a write with CL.ONE: the write will fail.
If you want the write to succeed, you could do any one of: write with CL.ANY, increase RF to 2+, write using a row key that hashes to an UP node. -Bryan On Thu, Feb 14, 2013 at 2:06 AM, Alain RODRIGUEZ <arodr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I will let commiters or anyone that has knowledge on Cassandra internal > answer this. > > From what I understand, you should be able to insert data on any up node > with your configuration... > > Alain > > > 2013/2/14 Traian Fratean <traian.frat...@gmail.com> > >> You're right as regarding data availability on that node.
