Hello. This company I am working for has small production cluster with the following setup:
2 DCs 3 nodes each RF = 3 (all keyspaces) num_tokens = 4 repairs are up to date We are in the process of adding more nodes to the cluster, although while testing our procedures on a staging cluster (same setup), we constantly get this error while the new node is in JOINING or LEAVING stage: "Server timeout during read query at consistency LocalQuorum (2 replica(s) responded over 3 required)" Trying to understand why would Cassandra require 3 replicas when the node is joining the cluster, when the quorum should be 2. We have no such error when one of the three nodes is down as expected. I have been bouncing around this error for a while now, so any hints or thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you Luciano
