View QuestionHello, I would not think about the amount of primary shards we configure. This is purely related to scaling and 3 is the default and should be fine. We configure it to 2 as default (replication). This...
View QuestionHello Srikanth The tool was not designed to do this but it's very much achievable. All you will need is a (single) Cassandra node that is reachable by all the DMA's in the DMS. This could even be a temporary...
