Alex Petrov commented on CASSANDRA-14557:
-----------------------------------------
bq. do you suggest starting a new thread in dev list / slack?
I'd say dev list is the best way! Btw, not saying that the change is bad, since
most people actually do increase RF of system keyspaces as one of the first
things they do on their clusters. It's just that such change deserves its own
ticket and accompanying discussion, even if it ends up being +1 from everyone.

> 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.
