I am running cassandra 0.6.6 4 nodes with RF=3 Have set the InitialTokens manually Loaded around 4 million records
Had a question why the following is happening Node 4 was down when a new key 1005 was added (value 123). Node 2 which is responsible for the key added a Hint for Node 4 Node 4 was brought back up and noticed the Hints Handed off and data started showing up in Node 4 Noticed a ReadRepair also happenning All fine so far did a get and the value is 123 Node 2 returned the data, with background digest checks on Node 3 and Node 4 (RF=3) Now Node 2 (responsible for key 1005) was taken down Key 1005 value was updated to A123 (ApplyRowMutation on Node 3 and Node 4). Node 4 added a hint for Node 2 did a get and the value is A123 Node 3 returned the data, with background digest checks on Node 4 (RF=3 and Node 2 is down) Now Node 2 is back up Hints were handed off by Node 4 did a get and the value is the old value 123 Node 2 returned the data, with background digest checks on Node 3 and Node 4 (RF=3) Was expecting the latest write wins - A123 written on Node 4 to be in Node 2. Any ideas ? Now if Node 2 is down the old value A123 will be returned Tried a repair when Node 2 was up and all Nodes got updated to the old data
