Benedict, thank you for sharing this CEP! Adding some notes on why I support this proposal: - Reducing common-case round trips from 4x to 2x on writes and 2x to 1x on reads is a huge improvement. This latency reduction may be sufficient to allow many users of Cassandra who operate in a single d

Modifying NTS in place would not be possible if it changes rack placement in a way that breaks existing clusters on upgrade. A strategy introducing a change to placement like this would need a new name. A new strategy would be fine in trunk. Logging a warning seems appropriate if RF > rack coun
