I ran sar only recently after your advice and did not meet any huge GC-s on that server At 08:14 there was a GC lasting 4.5 seconds, that's not five minutes of course, but also quite an unpleasant value; Still I'm waiting for big GC values and will provide according sar logs. 07:25:01 PM

You are better off using Sun Java 6 to run Cassandra. In the past there were issues reported on 7. Can you try running it on Sun Java 6? kind regards Joost On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 10:04 AM, Nikolay Kоvshov nkovs...@yandex.ru wrote: 48 G of Ram on that machine, swap is not used. I will disable

Dropping counter mutations taking longer than rpc_timeout

2012-07-24 Thread Omid Aladini
Hey, Mutations taking longer than rpc_timeout will be dropped because coordinator won't be waiting for the coordinator and will return TimeoutException to the client, if it doesn't reach the consistency level [1]. In case of counters though, since counter mutations aren't idempotent, the client

going back in time

2012-07-24 Thread mdione.ext
One of the scenarios I have to have in account for a small Cassandra cluster (N=4) is restoring the data back in time. I will have full backups for 15 days, and it's possible that I will need to restore, let's say, the data from 10 days ago (don't ask, I'm not going into the details why).

De : Pierre-Yves Ritschard [mailto:p...@spootnik.org] Snapshot and restores are great for point in time recovery. There's no particular side-effect if you're willing to accept the downtime. Are you sure? The system KS has no book-keeping about the KSs/CFs? For instance, schema changes, etc?

Thank Sylvain, The main argument for this is pagination. Let me try to explain the use cases, and compare it to RDBMS for better illustration: 1- Right now, Cassandra doesn't stream the requests, so large resultsets are a royal pain in the neck to deal with. I.e., if I have a range_slice, or
