Hi Gaurav,
I would be less worried about performance issues than interoperability
issues. Other tools/client libraries do not expect this, and may cause
them to behave unexpectedly (e.g. truncating/crashing/...).
If you can, try get rid of common prefix/suffix, and use abbreviations
where possible. You shouldn't have thousands of tables (and yes, there's
performance issue with that), so the table name length limit really
shouldn't be an issue.
Best,
Bowen

Hi team,
Currently Cassandra has a table name length limit of 48 characters. If
I understand correctly, it was made due to the fact that filename can
not be more than 255 characters in windows. However, Linux supports up
to 4096 bytes of file name.
Given my Cassandra nodes are on Linux systems, can I increase the
limit from 48 characters to 64 characters? Will there be any
performance issues due to increasing the limit?
Thanks
Gaurav
