If a TiKV node crashes, will the regions on it be replicated to other TiKV nodes?

If one TiKV server fails, will the regions on it be replicated to other TiKVs to form three replicas?

Yes, but the premise is that after one node goes down, there are still more than 3 KV nodes remaining, and the disk space must be sufficient.

Thank you, got it. So the minimum configuration for TiKV is 4 nodes.

In fact, the minimum configuration is three nodes. If one out of the three nodes goes down, it won’t affect the cluster usage. However, at this point, you need to manually add a KV node; otherwise, a replica won’t be copied to the same node, which would be meaningless.
