I'm getting something similar for beta 2, you can see here it's dropping from 12000 to 400 quite quickly. The output from cassandra is available n dropbox here:

Try it! 2013/7/22 Andrew Cobley <a.e.cob...@dundee.ac.uk<mailto:a.e.cob...@dundee.ac.uk>> I've been noticing some strange casandra-stress results with 2.0.0 beta 1. I've set up a single node on a Mac (4 gig ram, 2.8Ghz core 2 duo) and installed 2.0.0 beta1. When I run ./cassandra-stress -d 134.36.36.218 I'm seeing the interval-op-rate drop from a peek of 11562 at the start to 0 -20 after about 358 seconds.
