Re: Motivation for a DHT ring
Hi all, Please, i'd like to discuss again this question: *What is the motivation for choosing a DHT ring in cassandra? Why not use a normal parallel or distributed file system that supports replication?* @Utkarsh Sengar: *Where in the Dynamo paper is such argumentation?* Did you mean these paragraphs The Google File System is another distributed file system built for hosting the state of Google’s internal applications.

lack of space for replicas
Hi, The distributed replicas take space. Is there a scenario when a new replicas cannot be stored on a node due to lack of space? If we choose a replication factor =3, and we can find a space for the third replicas, how cassandra treats this case. Please, where can i find the algorithm ? Thank you so much for help.

Re: Question nodetool status
Hi, thanks a lot for answer :) Gossip is a peer-to-peer communication protocol in which nodes periodically exchange state information about themselves and about other nodes they know about. unreachableNodes = probe.getUnreachableNodes(); ---> i.e if node don't publish heartbeats on x seconds (using gossip protocol), it's therefore marked 'DN: down' ?

I understand row partitioning, and understood that all columns will be on the same row, so on the same partitioner (so on the same machine) As columnsFamilies have limitations of 2 billions cells per partitioner, will the CF limited to 2 billions entries?
