My understanding is that the replication factor is for the entire ring. Even
if you have 2 DCs the nodes are part of the same ring. What you get
additionally from NTS is that you can specify how many replicas to place in
each DC.
So RF = 1 and DC1:1, DC2:1 looks incorrect to me.
What is possible with NTS is following:
RF=3, DC1=1, DC2=2
Would wait for others comments to see if my understand is correct.
