It wasn't that the resiliency safeguards didn't work, so much as reddit was simply underprovisioned. I have no idea what TFA meant by "at only three nodes we weren't able to take advantage of most of Cassandra's safeguards for ending up in this situation," except in the sense that adding an extra 20k ops/s on a 30 node cluster will be 10% of capacity instead of 100%. (Just picking reasonable ballpark numbers, I don't know what reddit's are.)
