Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with setting up a new Cassandra cluster across three different geographic locations. Discuss how you would use snitches to implement an effective replication strategy.

💡 Hint: Think about geographical factors and their influence on data accessibility.

Challenge 2 Hard

A failure occurs in one data center, and certain nodes become unreachable. Analyze how snitches affect the behavior of the database during this incident.

💡 Hint: Consider implications of routing requests based on node availability.
