Run Single node Cassandra cluster and do queries with QUORUM consistency?

Question

I'm trying to setup a simple and "lightweight" development/testing environment for my application where I could run single node Cassandra cluster with key space where 'replication_factor':'1'.

But when I do CQL query with QUORUM consistecy then I still get an error for not having two nodes in my cluster:

com.datastax.driver.core.exceptions.UnavailableException: 
Not enough replica available for query at consistency QUORUM (2 required but only 1 alive)

Any way to allow queries to work with QUORUM consistency level in this one node setup or is only fallback to use ONE (or add second node to cluster)?

Answer 1

You must have changed it to a replication_factor of 2 or 3 by mistake; QUORUM of 1 is 1.
