Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has measured the performance improvements to having the listen address and client address bound to different interface? We a have 2gbit connection serving both at the moment and this doesn't come close to being saturated. But being very keen on fast reads at the 99th percentile we're interested in even the smallest improvements. Next question - Has anyone ever moved an existing node to have the listen address and client access address bound to different addresses? Our Problem Currently our only address is a DNS entry which we would like to keep bound to the client access. If we were to take down a node and change the listen address then re-join the ring, the other nodes will mark the node as dead when we take it down and assume we have a new node when we bring it back on a different address. Lots of wasted rebalancing and compaction will start. We use Cassandra 1.2.4 w/vnodes. Not sure there will be anyway around this. So back to question one, am I wasting my time? Thanks, Chris
