Row Cache Invalidation and Tunable Consistency Alignment
Row Cache Invalidation with Tunable Consistency Cassandra row cache keeps frequently accessed partitions in memory to reduce disk I/O. Invalidation is handled locally on the node that receives the write, and a QUORUM write does not trigger a cluster-wide invalidation of row caches on all replicas. A subsequent read at consistency ONE can be routed to a repli
cassandraCassandra Read Consistency ONE vs QUORUM for RF 3
Goal: select a read consistency level for a three-node Cassandra 4.x cluster with replication factor 3 that serves user-profile reads. The application must avoid stale reads, but the p99 latency budget is tight. Local single-node testing with consistency ONE hides replication lag because the only replica satisfies the read requirement. In production, ONE can
Stale cache results during read repair with consistency level operations
In Apache Cassandra, read repair is documented to trigger when replicas return inconsistent data during a read, but the interaction between this repair path and the row cache or key cache can leave stale entries visible to clients. The precise question is under what conditions a cache invalidation is guaranteed to propagate to all replicas after a read repai
