Configuring the phi_convict_threshold property modifies the affectability of the failure
detector. Lower values improve the probability that a lethargic node will be set apart as down,
while higher qualities diminish the likelihood that transient failures are bringing on a node
failure. Node failures can come about because of different causes; for example, equipment
failure and system blackouts. Node blackouts are regularly transient yet can keep going for
broadened periods. At the point when a node returns online after an outage, it might have missed
writes for the replica information it maintains. A repair mechanism exists to recover the lost
information for example: indicated handoffs and manual repair with node tool repair.
Data distribution and replication. Data distribution and replication goes hand-in-hand
within Cassandra. Information is sorted out by a table and recognized by a primary key, which
figures out which node the information is stored on. Replicas are duplicates of rows. At the point
when information is first composed, it is additionally alluded to as a replica. Snitch is the crucial
feature, it checks the health of all the clusters and reads the best available model. Replica
placement strategy is where the data should be stored in different groups to avoid single point
failure to make the data available. Replication factor decides how many copies of data you want
to store in different nodes. Partitioner determines how and where your data should be stored; it
decides where the first copy of data goes.
Virtual nodes. Virtual nodes, known as Vnodes, appropriate information across nodes at
a better granularity than can be efficiently accomplished if figured tokens are utilized. Vnodes
simplify many errands in Cassandra. Tokens are consequently computed and allocated to every
node. Rebalancing a cluster is, therefore, important when including or evacuating nodes. At the
point when a node joins the cluster, it accepts its obligation regarding an even partition of
