Have you benchmarked the batch insert apis? If that is "fast enough" then it's by far the simplest way to go.
Otherwise you'll have to use the binarymemtable stuff which is undocumented and not exposed as a client api (you basically write a custom "loader" version of cassandra to use it, I think). FB used this for their own bulk loading so it works at some level, but clearly there is some assembly required. -Jonathan On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 2:28 AM, Alexandre Linares <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm trying to find the most optimal way to ingest my content from Hadoop to > Cassandra.
