If this is just for doing tests to make sure you get back the data you expect, I would recommend looking some sort of eventually construct in your testing. We use Specs2 as our testing framework, and our write-then-read tests look something like this:
someDAO.write(someObject) eventually { someDAO.read(someObject.id) mustEqual someObject } This will retry the read repeatedly over a short duration. Just in case you are trying to do write-then-read outside of tests, you should be aware that it's a Bad Idea™, but your email reads like you already know that =) On Thu Nov 06 2014 at 7:16:25 AM Brian Tarbox <briantar...@gmail.com> wrote: > We're doing development on a single node cluster (and yes of course we're > not really deploying that way), and we're getting inconsistent behavior on > reads after writes. > > We write values to our keyspaces and then immediately read the values back > (in our Cucumber tests).
