Hi, tl;dr : How to choose between having a Cluster with 2 DC and having 2 separate clusters as follow:
"cluster_name: mycluster KS1 {DC1: 3, DC2: 0} and KS2 {DC1: 0, DC2: 3}" OR "cluster_name: cluster1 KS1 {DC: 3} + cluster_name: cluster2 KS2 {DC: 3}" We can use distinct columns and row to keep distinct entries, depending on sharding, locallity and query I know how to model this. At a higher level we have CF, Keyspace. Basically, to chose if I want to choose between a CF or a Keyspace, I ask myself if this table has a logical interest in beeing separated from existing keyspaces. This mainly depend on RF I want on each DC or if the table has a very specific workload that would need a specific attention and tuning. But when to decide having multiple cluster instead of multiple DC with each DC its Keyspace ? Thanks for any enlightening you can give me around this. C*heers, Alain
