If u ask conceptually, it is possible but not recommended. If u really want to do it use the initial token setting and provide the broad range to the nodes where u want more data. But u need to understand about the replication factor consideration, if u keep rf as 3 on a 3 node cluster that means

+1 w/ Benjamin. However if you wish to make use of spare hardware capacity, look to something like mesos DC/OS or kubernetes. You can run multiple services across a fleet of hardware, but provision equal resources to Cassandra and have somewhat reliable hardware sharing mechanisms. On Sat, 12

Agreed w/ Benjamin. Trying to diagnose issues in prod will be a nightmare. Keep your DB servers homogeneous. > On Nov 12, 2016, at 1:52 PM, Benjamin Roth wrote: > > 1. From a 15 year experience of running distributed Services: dont Mix > Services on machines if

Hi, We are planning to install 3 node cluster in production environment. Is it possible to provide weightage or priority to the nodes in cluster. Eg., We want more more records to be written to first 2 nodes and less to the 3rd node. We are thinking of this approach because we want to install
