This skip has already caused trouble. After0668c642a2, the skip was always hit, and the test was silently doing nothing. This made us miss #26816 for a long time. The test was fixed in222eab45f8, but we should get rid of the skip anyway. We increase the number of writes from 256 to 1000 to make the chance of not finding the key on server A even lower. If that still happens, it must be due to a bug, so we fail the test. We also make the test insert rows until server A is a replica of one row. The expected number of inserted rows is a small constant, so it should, in theory, make the test faster and cleaner (we need one row on server A, so we insert exactly one such row). It's possible to make the test fully deterministic, by e.g., hardcoding the key and tokens of all nodes via `initial_token`, but I'm afraid it would make the test "too deterministic" and could hide a bug.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
