Hi guys I want to set the param chunk_length_kb in order to improve the read latency of my cassandra_stress's test.
This is the table CREATE TABLE "Keyspace1".standard1 ( key blob PRIMARY KEY, "C0" blob, "C1" blob, "C2" blob, "C3" blob, "C4" blob ) WITH bloom_filter_fp_chance = 0.1 AND caching = '{"keys":"ALL", "rows_per_partition":"NONE"}' AND comment = '' AND compaction = {'sstable_size_in_mb': '160', 'class': 'org.apache.cassandra.db.compaction.LeveledCompactionStrategy'} AND compression = {'sstable_compression': 'org.apache.cassandra.io.compress.SnappyCompressor'} AND dclocal_read_repair_chance = 0.1 AND default_time_to_live = 0 AND gc_grace_seconds = 864000 AND max_index_interval = 2048 AND memtable_flush_period_in_ms = 0 AND min_index_interval = 128 AND read_repair_chance = 0.0 AND speculative_retry = '99.0PERCENTILE'; I have 6 columns of type blob. This table is filled by cassandra_stres admin@cqlsh:Keyspace1> select * from standard1 limit 2; key | C0 | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 ------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0x4b343050393536353531 | 0xe0e3d68ed1536e4d994aa74860270ac91cf7941acb5eefd925815481298f0d558d4f | 0xa43f78202576f1ccbdf50657792fac06f0ca7c9416ee68a08125c8dce4dfd085131d | 0xab12b06bf64c73e708d1b96fea9badc678303906e3d5f5f96fae7d8092ee0df0c54c | 0x428a157cb598487a1b938bdb6c45b09fad3b6408fddc290a6b332b91426b00ddaeb2 | 0x0583038d881ab25be72155bc3aa5cb9ec3aab8e795601abe63a2b35f48ce1e359f5e I am having a read latency of ~500 microseconds, I think it takes to much time comparing to the write latency of ~30 microseconds. My first clue is to fix the chunk_length_kb to a value close to the size of the rows in kb Am I in the right direction? If it is true, how can I compute the size of a row? Other question, the value of "Compacted partition" of the command nodetool cfstats migth give me a value close to the chunk_length_kb ?
