Hello. I am not sure this have been asked before. I've tried to search and either I am terrible at searching, or the question haven't been asked. We are trying to figure out how to solve the following problem; We have systems in various regions in AWS, and we are trying to find a way to sync configuration data for various applications we have running there. This configuration data is located in an existing 5-node Cassandra cluster today. It is a single, small keyspace, just a few MB's worth of data (for now, anyway..). It might look something like this (I hope formatting survives): A B \ / C* Centralized, existing, 5-node cluster / \ D E Where A, B, D, E = single nodes (or small clusters) in for example AWS. So A, B, D and E would get data pushed to them from C*, but they should not sync any data back to C*. One thought is to run a stand-alone, single Cassandra node (or a small cluster) in each region and sync the data over. One way to do this is to use sstableloader, but is there a more convenient, more "out-of-the-box"-way to get the data to these nodes? Would it be possible to somehow use the Multi DC feature in this setup, and would it be possible to prevent the stand alone nodes to sync their data back to the "main" DC in that case? Or is there features of Cassandra that can do this that we've missed? I hope I've made myself understandable ;) Thanks in advance for any input on this. Br, Pelle Jansson
