Jonathan, Thanks for your thoughts.
I've done some simple benchmarks with the batch insert apis and was looking for something slightly more performant. Is there a batch row insert that I missed? Any pointers (at all) to anything related to FB's bulk loading or the binarymemtable? I've attempted to do this by writing a custom IVerbHandler for ingestion and interfacing with the MessagingService internally but it's not that clean. Thanks again, -Alex ________________________________ From: Jonathan Ellis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 7:44:59 AM Subject: Re: Ingesting from Hadoop to Cassandra 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.
