Hello all, Recently we added one of the table fields from as Map<text, text> in Cassandra 2.1.11. Currently we read every field from Map and overwrite map values. Map is of size 3. We saw that writes are 30-40% slower while reads are 70-80% slower. Please find below some metrics that can help.
My question is, Are there any known issues in Cassandra map performance? As I understand it each of the CQL3 Map entry, maps to a column in cassandra, with that assumption we are just creating 3 columns right? Any insight on this issue would be helpful.
