As long as I write a single column with hector or pelops, it works. With 2 columns it fails because there are supposed to few servers to reach quorum. Confusing. If I decommission the fifth node with nodetool quorum works again and I can shut down another (the forth) node as expected. The ring was manually balanced as described here: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Operations#Load_balancing. Don't get it. Can somebody please explain? thx tcn
