Here's a proposed addition to the = Secondary Index FAQ at http://wiki.apa= che.org/cassandra/SecondaryIndexes

Q: How does choice of Consistency = Level affect cluster availability when using secondary indexes?
A: = Because secondary indexes are distributed, you must have CL level nodes = available for all token ranges in the cluster in order to = complete a query. For example, with RF =3D 3, when two out of three = consecutive nodes in the ring are unavailable, all secondary = index queries at CL =3D QUORUM will fail, however secondary index = queries at CL =3D ONE will succeed. This is true regardless of cluster = size.
