I suppose the point behind RackAware is that you can lose one rack or datacenter and then recover somehow. How would the recovery work? I'd probably have part of my cluster left, the replication factor would be three, and I'd have less than a quorum for some of the rows. I'd have to add a bunch of new nodes in the remaining datacenter, then I'd have to somehow initiate a read repair to get a quorum back. I can't fill in the details. Is there a document I should read about this?
