Joseph Lynch commented on CASSANDRA-14557:
------------------------------------------
I think this is a great idea to help new users not shoot themselves in the foot
(RF=1 keyspaces are simply a bad idea). [~sumanth.pasupuleti] if this get's
merged let me know and I can rebase my patch in CASSANDRA-14303 to use this
setting as the default if no default is given.
I really look forward as a user to being able to do the following and Cassandra
just doing the right thing by default:
{noformat}
CREATE KEYSPACE foo WITH replication = {'class': 'NetworkTopologyStrategy'}
{noformat}

> Ending up with a keyspace of RF=1 is unfortunately pretty easy in C* right
> now - the system_auth table for example is created with RF=1 (to take into
> account single node setups afaict from CASSANDRA-5112), and a user can
> further create a keyspace with RF=1 posing availability and streaming risks
> (e.g. rebuild).
> I propose we add two configuration options in cassandra.yaml:
> # {{default_keyspace_rf}} (default: 1) - If replication factors are not
> specified, use this number.
> # {{required_minimum_keyspace_rf}} (default: unset) - Prevent users from
> creating a keyspace with an RF less than what is configured
> These settings could further be re-used to:
> * Provide defaults for new keyspaces created with SimpleStrategy or
> NetworkTopologyStrategy (CASSANDRA-14303)
> * Make the automatic token [allocation
> algorithm|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13701?focusedCommentId=16095662&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-16095662]
> interface more intuitive allowing easy use of the new token allocation
> algorithm.
> At the end of the day, if someone really wants to allow RF=1, they simply
> don’t set the setting. For backwards compatibility the default remains 1 and
> C* would create with RF=1, and would default to current behavior of allowing
> any RF on keyspaces.
