Hello All, I have a 3 node cassandra cluster with Replication factor as 2 and read-write consistency set to QUORUM. We are using Spring data cassandra. All infrastructure is deployed using kubernetes.
Now in normal use case many records gets inserted to cassandra table. Then we try to modify/update one of the record using save method of repo, like below: ChunkMeta *tmpRec* = chunkMetaRepository.*save*(chunkMeta); After execution of above statement we never see any exception or error. But still this update state goes silent/fail intermittently. That is at times the record in the db gets updated successfully where as other time it fails. Also in the above query when we print *tmpRec* it contains the updated and correct value every time. Still in the db these updated values doesn't get reflected. We check the the cassandra transport TRACE logs on all nodes and found the our queries are getting logged there and are being executed also with out any error or exception. Now another weird observation is this all thing works erfectly fine if I am using single cassandra node (in kubernetes) or if we deploy above infra using ansible (even works for 3 nodes for Ansible). It looks some issue is specifically with the kubernetes 3 node deployment of cassandra. Primarily looks like replication among nodes causing this. Please suggest.
