Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "HintedHandoff" page has been changed by JonathanEllis: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/HintedHandoff?action=diff&rev1=11&rev2=12 Thus if we write a hint to B and call the write good because it is written "somewhere," there is no way to read the data at any !ConsistencyLevel until A comes back up and B forwards the data to him. Historically, only the lowest !ConsistencyLevel of ZERO would accept writes in this situation; for 0.6, we added !ConsistencyLevel.ANY, meaning, "wait for a write to succeed anywhere, even a hinted write that isn't immediately readable." + For more details, see http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/modern-hinted-handoff +
