Caution
You're viewing documentation for a previous version of ScyllaDB Monitoring. Switch to the latest stable version.
Scylla stores your data in ReplicationFactor of nodes (replicas). A write query Consistency Level determines how many replicas need to acknowledge the write before a reply is returned.
Using consistency level ANY allows a write query to be acknowledged after storing the information on the coordinator, a non-replica (as hints), meaning the data will be acknowledged when in fact it is not yet persistent on disk. Use Consistency Level ANY with care.
