You can create a custom endpoint script that you will need to add with a docker build. In that script you'll have to do do a wait loop for when c* is up and running. Being a little more creative, you could pre-bake some sstables and then use docker volumes to mount /data on a local file system.

You aren't achieving quorum on your reads as the error is explains. That means you either have some nodes down or your topology is not matching up. The fact you are using LOCAL_QUORUM might point to a datacenter mis-match on node count + RF. What does your nodetool status look like? Patrick On

Answering the question of Cassandra Summit 2017

Hello Cassandra Community, I know this is a hot topic so let me TL;DR for those of you looking for the short answer. Will there be a Cassandra Summit in 2017? DataStax will not be holding a Cassandra Summit in 2017, but instead multiple DataStax Summits in 2018. More details. Last year was

Just to add in here. Any time I see any hints on a cluster, that's like seeing smoke. If you can't explain it, you have a fire somewhere and it's not going to get any better. By the few messages I've seen, I would start by looking at your IO subsystem on your nodes. Do you have enough throughput
