Hi Drew,

One other disadvantage is the lack of "consistency level" and
"replication". Both ware part of the high availability / redundancy. So you
would really need to backup your single-node-"cluster" to some other
external location.

Good luck!

Hi,<br>
<br>
We are working on a project that initially is going to have very little dat=
a, but we would like to use Cassandra to ease the future scalability. Due t=
o budget constraints, we were thinking to run a single node Cassandra for n=
ow and then add more nodes as required.<br>

<br>
I was wondering if it is recommended to run a single node cassandra in prod=
uction? Are there any other issues besides lack of high availability?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
