Consistency Question

Hello,

I have a question about Cassandra's consistency in the case of failure 
conditions. Am I correct in assuming that in the event of a node failure 
with write consistency ALL (assuming the failure happened after the 
coordinator started the write), a subsequent read with ONE could return 
stale data if the node recovered?

I assume this write would return with a TimeoutException, but would a 
hint be written?

Thanks,
Bill Katsak

Yes, and a hint would be written.

Also, this mailing list is not for questions like this one - please use users@cassandra.apache.org instead in the future.
