Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "CassandraHardware" page has been changed by JonathanEllis. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraHardware?action=diff&rev1=11&rev2=12 -------------------------------------------------- On ext2/ext3 the maximum file size is 2TB, even on a 64 bit kernel. On ext4 that goes up to 16TB. Since Cassandra can use almost half your disk space on a single file, if you are raiding large disks together you may want to use XFS instead, particularly if you are using a 32-bit kernel. XFS file size limits are 16TB max on a 32 bit kernel, and basically unlimited on 64 bit. + === Cloud === + Several heavy users of Cassandra deploy in the cloud, e.g. CloudKick on Rackspace Cloud Servers and SimpleGeo on Amazon EC2. The general consensus in the community seems to be that Rackspace's VMs offer better performance for Cassandra because of CPU bursting, raided local disks, and separate public/private interfaces. +
