We setup a cluster of 3 servers on one datacenter and 3 on a second datacenter. We setup a KeySpace with a replication factor of 2 in one datacenter and 2 in the second datacenter. When we used sstableloader, then it loaded the data to all 6 nodes. When we used sstableloader with "-i" option to just load to one node. The data did get loaded to just that node. Once the data was loaded to that node, the data did not get replicated to any other node. When I ran repair the data did get replicated to other nodes but only to 3 other nodes. Was this because replication factor was 2 in one datacenter and 2 in the second. Please let me know if this how it works? Or should it have replicated to all the remaining 5 nodes instead of just 3.

What replication strategy are we talking about here is it NetworkTopologyStrategy or SimpleStrategy?
