Don't use vnodes if any operations need strong consistency (reading or writing at quorum). Otherwise, at RF=3, if you loose a single node you will only have one 1 replica left for some portion of the ring. -- ----------------- Nate McCall Austin, TX @zznate Co-Founder & Sr. Technical Consultant Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com
