Michael Shuler commented on CASSANDRA-9602:
-------------------------------------------
The 2.0 branch is in maintenance and the latest released version is 2.0.16.
The 2.1 branch, while relatively new, is also in maintenance.
The 2.2 branch is up for a first release soon - RC1 has been out for a few
weeks - RC2 is up for vote.
I suppose it's possible this could go into 2.2, but that would be up to the
developers.
Basically, new features go into the development branch, trunk, which will
become 3.0. This is a new CQL spec feature request, although it may be
considered relatively minor. I can guarantee this won't go into a 2.0 release.
> EACH_QUORUM READ support needed

> EACH_QUORUM consistency for READ should be added.
> This bug https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3272 says it is not
> needed ever, however I have a use case where I need it. I think the decision
> made was incorrect. Here's why...
>
> My application has two key pieces:
>
> # *End user actions* which add/modify data in the system. End users
> typically access the application from only one Data Center and only see their
> own data
> # *Scheduled business logic tasks* which run from any node in any data
> center. These tasks process data added by the end users in an asynchronous
> way
>
> *End user actions must have the highest degree of availability.* Users must
> always be able to add data to the system. The data will be processed later.
> To support this, end user actions will use *LOCAL_QUORUM Read and Write
> Consistency*.
>
> Scheduled tasks don't need to have a high degree of availability but MUST
> operate on the most up to date data. *The tasks will run with EACH_QUORUM*
> to ensure that no matter how many data centers we have, we always READ the
> latest data. This approach allows us some amount of fault tolerance.
>
> The problem is that EACH_QUORUM is not a valid READ consistency level. This
> mean I have no alternative but to use ALL. ALL will work, but is not the
> best since it offers support for ZERO failures. I would prefer EACH_QUORUM
> since it can support some failures in each data center.
