Thanks aaron morton,
I have an another question about replication. if I run a write operation on A node and how does the replication work? A node dispatches three request to B, C and D nodes respectively to do write operation? or A node dispatches a request to B node, then B node forwards it to C node, finally, C node forwards it to D node?
Which ever node the client connects to is the coordinator node. It will take care of sending the messages to the nodes who will do the actual work.
If you have multiple nodes try a DNS round robin to distribute client connections around.
