Re: Multi-dc restart impact

I have not been able to do the test with the 2nd cluster, but have been 
given a disturbing data point.  We had a disk slowly fail causing a 
significant performance degradation that was only resolved when the 
"sick" node was killed.
  * Perf in DC w/ sick disk: http://i.imgur.com/W1I5ymL.png?1
  * perf in other DC: http://i.imgur.com/gEMrLyF.png?1

Not only was a single slow node able to cause an order of magnitude 
performance hit in a dc, but the other dc faired *worse*.

Thanks, double checked; reads are CL.ONE.

Are you doing QUORUM reads instead of LOCAL_QUORUM reads?
