I'm super confused by this.. and disturbed that this was my failure scenario :-(
I had one cassandra node for the alpha of my app… and now we're moving into beta… which means three replicas. So I added the second node… but my app immediately broke with: ""Cassandra timeout during write query at consistency ONE (2 replica were required but only 1 acknowledged the write)"" … but that makes no sense… if I'm at ONE and I have one acknowledged write, why does it matter that the second one hasn't ack'd yet… ? -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
