After deploying a number of production systems with up to 10 Cassandra nodes each, we are looking at deploying a small, all-in-one-server system with only a single, local node (Cassandra 2.1.11).
What are the risks of such a configuration? The virtual disk would be running RAID 5 and the disk controller would have a flash backed write-behind cache. What's the best way to configure Cassandra and/or respecify the hardware for an all-in-one-box solution? Thanks-in-advance! --John
