Hi community,

I have a question. From my understanding, the replication factor (RF) for a failover pair in local Cassandra setups is usually 1—at least for the default keyspaces SLDMADB and system_auth.

However, I’m now a bit confused because I’m looking at a cluster made up of several failover DMAs, and I see that in some cases the RF is set to 1, while in others it’s set to 2.

Could someone clarify what the correct RF should be in this scenario?

Thanks!
