The third choice is EACH_QUORUM which assures QUORUM in each data center (all data centers.)
There is no "immediate consistency" per se in Cassandra. Cassandra offers "eventual consistency" and "tunable consistency" or the degree of immediate consistency, which is the CL that you specify - you specify the degree of immediate consistency that you require. If you want the full immediate consistency of a traditional relational database, then go with CL=ALL, otherwise, take your pick from the many degrees of immediacy that Cassandra offers: http://docs.datastax.com/en/cassandra/3.x/cassandra/dml/dmlConfigConsistency.html . In short, Cassandra does indeed guarantee the degree of immediate consistency that you specify (and presumably want.) -- Jack Krupansky On Sun, Mar 27, 2016 at 6:36 PM, Harikrishnan A <hari...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I have a question regarding consistency Level settings in a multi Data > Center Environment.
