No. Counters behave exactly as other writes as far the consistency level is concerned. Technically, the counter write path is different from the normal write path in the sense that a counter write will be written to one replica first and then written to the rest of the replicas in a second time (with a local read on the first replica in between, which is why counter writes are slower than normal ones). But, outside of the obvious performance impact, this has no impact on the behavior observed from a client point of view. The consistency level has the exact same meaning in particular (though one small difference is that counters don't support CL.ANY). -- Sylvain > > Thank you anyway Sylvain > > > 2013/6/12 Sylvain Lebresne <sylv...@datastax.com> > >> It is the normal behavior, but that's true of any update, not only of >> counters. >> >> The consistency level does *not* influence which replica are written to. >> Cassandra always write to all replicas.
