Hi Jens, The system keyspace is configured with LocalStrategy, this strategy only stores data on the the local node. This strategy is reserved for internal use only and is used for other things such as SecondaryIndexes.
You cannot change the replication factor of the 'system' keyspace. If you attempt to do so, the command will not succeed and will return the following message: "Bad Request: Cannot alter system keyspace" Mark On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 10:58 AM, Jens Rantil <jens.ran...@tink.se> wrote: > Hi, > > Datastax has a documentation page about configuring replication[1].
