Toby Jungen commented on CASSANDRA-1093:
----------------------------------------
Thanks for the insight Jonathan. That was my intuition as well, and I observed
my cluster periodically marking nodes as down for a second or two. I figured it
was random network hiccups, since our network hardware is rather old. It would
make sense that these periodic interruptions caused the BMT to lose data.
While looking through the code, I did try to see if I could use BMT with the
blocking MessagingService API (in the way the Thrift API works unless
ConsistencyLevel.ZERO is specified), but it looks like BMT is hardcoded to be
asynchronous. It might be nice for that option to be there, but since this
issue appears to only affect me (and I no longer need to use BMT for my
purposes), it's a super-low priority suggestion.

> I've been attempting to use the Binary Memtable (BMT) interface to load a
> large number of rows. During my testing, I discovered that on larger loads
> (~1 million rows), occasionally some of the data never appears in the
> database. This happens in a non-deterministic manner, as sometimes all the
> data loads fine, and other times a significant chunk goes missing. No errors
> are ever logged to indicate a problem. I'm attaching some sample code that
> approximates my application's usage of Cassandra and explains this bug in
> more detail.
