Philip Thompson commented on CASSANDRA-8990:
--------------------------------------------
Are you requesting more than just more expressive consistency levels? But
actually the ability to set a replication level alongside each request?
> Allow clients to override the DCs the data gets sent to, per write request,
> overriding keyspace settings
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-8990
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8990
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Donald Smith
>
> Currently each keyspace specifies how many replicas to write to each data
> center. In CQL one specifies:
> {noformat}
> WITH replication = {
> 'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy',
> 'DC1: '3',
> 'DC2': '3'
> }
> {noformat}
> But in some use cases there's no need to write certain rows to a certain
> datacenter. Requiring the user to create two keyspaces is burdensome and
> complicates code and queries.
> For example, we have global replication of our data to multiple continents.
> But we want the option to send only certain rows globally with certain values
> for certain columns -- e.g., only for users that visited that country).
> Cassandra and CQL should support the ability of client code to specify, on a
> per request basis, that a write should go only to specified data centers.
