How does node failure detection work in Cassandra?

2011-02-25 Thread tijoriwala.ritesh
Hi, I would like to know internals of how does node failure detection work in Cassandra? And in absence of any network partition, do all nodes see the same view of live nodes? Is there a concept of Coordinator/Election? If yes, how is merge handled after network partition heals? thanks, Ritesh
