I understand all that, but it doesn't explain why the latency increases. The requests are not going to a remote DC. I know this because currently all requests are going to the client in one particular DC. The read request rate of the Cassandra nodes in the other DC remained flat (near zero) the whole time, compared to ~200read/s on the Cassandra nodes in the DC local to the client doing the reads. This is expected, because the DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy will cause local nodes to be used preferentially whenever possible. What's not expected is the dramatic latency increase. Btw this client is read-only: no writes.

LOCAL_ONE was introduced to handle the case of when you have multiple data centers and cross data center traffic is not desirable. In multiple datacenter clusters, a consistency level of ONE is often desirable, but cross-DC traffic is not. LOCAL_ONEaccomplishes this. For security and quality reasons, you can use this consistency level in an offline datacenter to prevent automatic connection to online nodes in other datacenters if an offline node goes down.

I am using DSE 5.0 with Datastax client 3.0.0. The client is configured with a TokenAwarePolicy wrapping a DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy with usedHostsPerRemoteDc set to a very high number. Cassandra cluster has two datacenters. I would expect that when the cluster is operating normally (all local nodes reachable), ONE would behave the same as LOCAL_ONE. The Does anyone know why this is not the case?
