Subject: Specifying exact nodes for Consistency Levels
From: A J <s5alye@gmail.com>
To: user@cassandra.apache.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Is it possible in some way to specify what specific nodes I want to
include (or exclude) from the Consistency Level fulfillment ?
Example, I have a cluster of 4 nodes (n1,n2,n3 and n4) and set N=4. I
want to set W=3 and want to ensure that it is n1,n2 and n3 only that
are used to satisfy w=3 (i.e. n4 is excluded for w=3 calculation).

Thanks.
