RE: Evaluating Cassandra for our use case

2010-07-28 Thread Daniel Kluesing
Is it possible to configure Cassandra in such a way that a node only every asks itself for the data, and if so what sort of effect will that have on read performance? Check out the RingCache class which lets you make your clients smart enough to ask the right server. (Also, if all nodes have all

We see this behavior as well with 0.6, heap usage graphs look almost identical. The GC is a noticeable bottleneck, we've tried jdku19 and jrockit vm's. It basically kills any kind of soft real time behavior. From: Masood Mortazavi [mailto:masoodmortaz...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010

GC options

2010-04-13 Thread Daniel Kluesing
Has anyone done any tuning on the jvm gc options or are the options included in bin/cassandra.in.sh basically the best choice? I'm working on getting our latency as consistent as possible, and the gc likes to kick off 60+ms periods of unavailability for a node, which for my application leads

Ring management and load balance

2010-03-25 Thread Daniel Kluesing
I wanted to check my understanding of the load balance operation. Let's say I have 5 nodes, each of them has been assigned at startup 1/5 of the ring, and the load is equal across them (say using random partitioner). The load on the cluster gets high, so I add a sixth server. During bootstrap,
