--------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.x
> More Expressive Consistency Levels
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8119
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API
> Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
> Fix For: 3.x

>
> For some multi-datacenter environments, the current set of consistency levels
> are too restrictive. For example, the following consistency requirements
> cannot be expressed:
> * LOCAL_QUORUM in two specific DCs
> * LOCAL_QUORUM in the local DC plus LOCAL_QUORUM in at least one other DC
> * LOCAL_QUORUM in the local DC plus N remote replicas in any DC
> I propose that we add a new consistency level: CUSTOM. In the v4 (or v5)
> protocol, this would be accompanied by an additional map argument. A map of
> {DC: CL} or a map of {DC: int} is sufficient to cover the first example. If
> we accept a special keys to represent "any datacenter", the second case can
> be handled. A similar technique could be used for "any other nodes".
> I'm not in love with the special keys, so if anybody has ideas for something
> more elegant, feel free to propose them. The main idea is that we want to be
> flexible enough to cover any reasonable consistency or durability
> requirements.
