DS201 Exercise 10: Snitches
- Difficulty: Beginner
- Time: 10 minutes
In this hands-on lab, you will:
- Configure your Cassandra nodes to use a different snitch
- Set up your Cassandra nodes to reside in two different datacenters
To improve fault-tolerance, distributed systems must consider the topology of the cluster into account. Cassandra uses this topological information to replicate data across a geological diverse area, which increases data availability.
