Re: Change number of vnodes on an existing cluster

2014-05-23 Thread Phil Luckhurst
Thank you Rob, that's all really useful information. As our production cluster is going to grow over time it looks like we may need to stick with vnodes (but maybe not 256) and as you say hope the work to improve their inefficiencies progresses quite quickly. In real reality, vnodes were almost

Increased Cassandra connection latency

Hi all, I've noticed increased latency on our tomcat REST-service (average 30ms, max 2sec). We are using Cassandra 1.2.16 with official DataStax Java driver v1.0.3. Our setup: * 2 DCs * each DC: 7 nodes * RF=5 * Leveled compaction After cassandra restart on all nodes, the latencies are

Is compaction keeping up? Those replication settings are high - for every write, 10 nodes are doing something). What other monitoring stats do you have - what is IO, CPU and network traffic like? Is the JVM GC activity growing? Anything else stick out like growing number of network connections

I took a look at the Ohloh stats here: https://www.ohloh.net/p/cassandra/contributors/summary Note that committers are not the same as contributors. Dozens of people contribute patches that are committed to the codebase without being committers. Over the last year, the top four contributors

I agree we the community should be careful about drawing conclusions. For the long term health and vitality of Cassandra, I feel more contributors should be invited to become committers. On Fri, May 23, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Jim Ancona j...@anconafamily.com wrote: I took a look at the Ohloh stats

Datastax have also gone far out of their way to support companies using Cassandra regardless of if it happens to be the DSE or not. We are not part of any paid agreement with the company and I had a Datastax employee sending me texts late on a weekend to help me through an issue I was having with

Another thing to keep in mind--even core pieces like the Linux kernel are dominated by corporations. Less than 20% of contributions last year were made by non-corporate sponsored contributors. Obviously, this is a bit different, but many parts of the open source world depend on upstream

I think we can all agree that DataStax has been a positive for Cassandra. There's no point arguing that in my mind. A separate but important consideration is long term health of a project. Many apache projects face this issue. When a project doesn't continually grow the contributors and
