Hi, I believe that this talk from Christopher Batey at the Cassandra Summit 2016 might answer most of your questions around LWT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcxQM3ZN20c
He explains a lot of stuff including consistency considerations. My understanding is that the quorum read can only see the data written using LWT after the commit phase. A SERIAL Read would see it (video, around 23:40). Here are the slides as well: http://fr.slideshare.net/DataStax/light-weight-transactions-under-stress-christopher-batey-the-last-pickle-cassandra-summit-2016 Let us know if you still have questions after watching this (about 35 minutes).
