Hi Peng , This really depends on how you have configured your topology. Say if you have segregated your dc into 3 racks with 10 servers each. With RF of 3 you can safely assume your data to be available if one rack goes down.
But if different servers amongst the racks fail then i guess you are not guaranteeing data integrity with RF of 3 in that case you can at max lose 2 servers to be available. Best idea would be to plan failover modes appropriately and letting cassandra know of the same.
