There is some work being done to compare the performance of thrift, avro, msgpack, and cassandra's own hand-rolled message serialization.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1765 Any input from the folks on this list would be appreciated. In particular, I'm curious about the erratic serialization times I'm seeing from Avro, min vs max across a series of test runs, (see my comment on CASSANDRA-1765 from 27/Nov/10 01:39 PM). -- Eric Evans [email protected]
