[jira] Updated: (CASSANDRA-2338) C* consistency level needs to be pluggable

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2338?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Matthew F. Dennis updated CASSANDRA-2338:
-----------------------------------------

    Description: 
for cases where people want to run C* across multiple DCs for disaster recovery et cetera where normal operations only happen in the first DC (e.g. no writes/reads happen in the remove DC under normal operation) neither LOCAL_QUORUM or EACH_QUORUM really suffices.  

Consider the case with RF of DC1:3 DC2:2

LOCAL_QUORUM doesn't provide any guarantee that data is in the remote DC.

EACH_QUORUM requires that both nodes in the remote DC are up.

It would be useful in some situations to be able to specify a strategy where LOCAL_QUORUM is used for the local DC and at least one in a remote DC (and/or at least in *each* remote DC).

LOCAL_QUORUM doesn't provide any guarantee that data is in the remote DC.

EACH_QUORUM requires that both nodes in the remote DC are up.

It would be useful in some situations to be able to specify a LOCAL_QUORUM (for local consistency) + "at least one remote" for durability/disaster proofing.



        Summary: C* consistency level needs to be pluggable  (was: C* needs a LOCAL_QUORUM_PLUS_ONE_REMOTE consistency level)
