Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-300:
------------------------------------------

It does mean that the client doesn't have to know what QUORUM means (and we 
have a ticket to make that configurable per table/keyspace).

> Doesn't it make more sense to switch to an enum where there's a better 
> understanding of what custom levels entail? 

Not sure, what did you have in mind?

> Enumerate useful consistency options for read/write calls

> Currently, a user has to specify an int for the number of nodes to block_for. 
>  As discussed on IRC, there are only a few options that a user would want, so 
> this would be better encapsulated by an enum.
> enum  ConsistencyLevel {
>     ZERO = 0,
>     ONE = 1,
>     QUORUM = 2,
>     ALL = 3,
> }
> This could be extended with a fifth option, CUSTOM = 4, if custom 
> specifications are desired
> struct ConsistencyRequest {
>     1: required ConsistencyLevel level,
>     2: optional int nodes
> }
