We've struggled getting consistent write latency linear write scalability with a pretty heavy insert load (1000's of records/second), and our records are about 1k-2k of data (mix of integer/string columns and a blob). Wondering if you have any rough numbers for your small to medium write

I agree, that traditional RDBMS have good and established admin/mgmt tools/practices. But C* strength is distributed, failure tolerant operation. And this is exactly where nearly all traditional RDBMS just fail. I've seen both Oracle and IBM clusters/HA solutions (and a lot of other software)

Indeed I did not really compare C* operational simplicity to traditional RDBMS. Implicity the comparison is made with other NoSQL datastore. On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 2:51 AM, Robert Coli rc...@eventbrite.com wrote: On Fri, Jul 4, 2014 at 2:10 PM, DuyHai Doan doanduy...@gmail.com wrote: c.

I've used various databases in production for over 10 years. Each has strengths and weaknesses. I ran Cassandra for just shy of 2 years in production as part of both development teams and operations, and I only hit 1 serious problem that Rob mentioned. Ideally C* would have guarded against it,

I’ve supported a variety of different “big data” systems and most have their own particular set of use cases that make sense. Having said that, I believe that Cassandra uniquely excels at the following: * Low write latency with respect to small to medium write sizes (logs, sensor data, etc.) *

I would answer your question this way: 1) Why should I choose C* ? a. linear scalability, throughputs scale almost linearly with number of nodes b. almost unbounded extensivity (there is no limit, or at least huge limit in term of number of nodes you can have on a cluster) c. operational
