  ||`ANY` ||(Requires 0.6) Ensure that the write has been written to at least 1 node, including hinted recipients. ||
  ||`ONE` ||Ensure that the write has been written to at least 1 node's commit log and memory table before responding to the client. ||
  ||`QUORUM` ||Ensure that the write has been written to `<ReplicationFactor> / 2 + 1` nodes before responding to the client. ||
+ ||`DCQUORUM` ||As above but takes into account the rack aware placement strategy. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-492 ||
  ||`ALL` ||Ensure that the write is written to all `<ReplicationFactor>` nodes before responding to the client.  Any unresponsive nodes will fail the operation. ||

  ||`ANY` ||Not supported. You probably want ONE instead. ||
  ||`ONE` ||Will return the record returned by the first node to respond. A consistency check is always done in a background thread to fix any consistency issues when `ConsistencyLevel.ONE` is used. This means subsequent calls will have correct data even if the initial read gets an older value.  (This is called `read repair`.) ||
  ||`QUORUM` ||Will query all nodes and return the record with the most recent timestamp once it has at least a majority of replicas reported.  Again, the remaining replicas will be checked in the background. ||
+ ||`DCQUORUM` ||When using rack aware placement strategy reads are keept within a data center. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-492 ||
  ||`ALL` ||Will query all nodes and return the record with the most recent timestamp once all nodes have replied.  Any unresponsive nodes will fail the operation. ||
