Hi,
I have a couple of queries regarding Temporal deployment with Cassandra. We are planning to have a separate Cassandra setup and point the same for Temporal persistence. Looking for answers on the same.
- What is the default consistency that temporal provides with Cassandra deployment(helm chart)? What is temporal recommendation of consistency level with Cassandra for production level setup?
- Also, I could see 2 attributes in temporal helm chart deployment with cassandra i.e consistency and serialConsistency. Can you explain the significance of both?
- What is the replication factor of Cassandra suggested for a production level setup?
Regards,

1, 2. You mean read/write consistency? Temporal by default uses LOCAL_QUORUM (consistency param, same as gocql Consistency values) / LOCAL_SERIAL (serialConsistency param, same as gocql SerialConsistency values). This should be fine unless you have a need to change it.
3. For prod the typical recommendation is to use replication factor of 3 for the core temporal keyspace. You can start with 5 Cassandra hosts each having 16 cores and 32 gb mem
Thanks @tihomir . One followup question regarding number of Cassandra setup that you suggested. Do you mean 5 separate Cassandra hosts and each having replication factor of 3??
It should mean to have 5 Cassandra nodes in your cluster and set replication factor to 3.
All the replicas should be spread across the 5 Cassandra instances.
