Hello, currently reading the "Practical Cassandra". In the section about replication factors the book says:
"It is generally not recommended to set a replication factor of 3 if you have fewer than six nodes in a data center". Why is that? What problems would arise if I had a replication factor of 3 and only 5 nodes? Does that mean that for a replication of 4 I would need at least 8 nodes and for a factor of 5 at least 10 nodes? Not saying that I would factor 5 andn 10 nodes, just curious about how this works. All the best, Markus
