[~slebresne] Thanks for the added comments! We're fine upgrading to 2.0 now
that it has been made final and released, so we will be able to benefit from
the CASSANDRA-4693 fix.
But as you suggested, I do like the idea of adding in the proposed syntax as a
convenience (understanding that it wouldn't be a performance improvement). But
since this issue originally reflected our performance needs within our software
(and not a person using cqlsh), our particular concern has been satisfied with
the release of C* 2.0.
I'll let someone else resurrect this issue if they feel it is desirable enough
to consume C* software development time/resources. :)
CQL3 support for multi-column insert in a single operation (Batch Insert /
Batch Mutate)
Key: CASSANDRA-5959

(from the original [question on
StackOverflow|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18522191/using-cassandra-and-cql3-how-do-you-insert-an-entire-wide-row-in-a-single-reque]):
I want to insert a single row with 50,000 columns into Cassandra 1.2.9.
Before inserting, I have all the data for the entire row ready to go (in
memory):
{code}
+-+--+--+--+--+---+
| | 0| 1| 2| ... | 4 |
| row_id +--+--+--+--+---+
| | text | text | text | ... | text |
+-+--+--+--|--+---+
{code}
The column names are integers, allowing slicing for pagination. The column
values are a value at that particular index.
CQL3 table definition:
{code}
create table results (
row_id text,
index int,
value text,
primary key (row_id, index)
)
with compact storage;
{code}
As I already have the row_id and all 50,000 name/value pairs in memory, I
just want to insert a single row into Cassandra in a single request/operation
so it is as fast as possible.
The only thing I can seem to find is to do execute the following 50,000 times:
{code}
INSERT INTO results (row_id, index, value) values (my_row_id, ?, ?);
{code}
where the first {{?}} is is an index counter ({{i}}) and the second {{?}} is
the text value to store at location {{i}}.
With the Datastax Java Driver client and C* server on the same development
machine, this took a full minute to execute.
Oddly enough, the same 50,000 insert statements in a [Datastax Java Driver
Batch|http://www.datastax.com/drivers/java/apidocs/com/datastax/driver/core/querybuilder/QueryBuilder.html#batch(com.datastax.driver.core.Statement...)]
on the same machine took 7.5 minutes. I thought batches were supposed to be
_faster_ than individual inserts?
We tried instead with a Thrift client (Astyanax) and the same insert via a
[MutationBatch|http://netflix.github.io/astyanax/javadoc/com/netflix/astyanax/MutationBatch.html].
This took _235 milliseconds_.
h3. Feature Request
As a result of this performance testing, this issue is to request that CQL3
support batch mutation operations as a single operation (statement) to ensure
the same speed/performance benefits as existing Thrift clients.
Example suggested syntax (based on the above example table/column family):
{code}
insert into results (row_id, (index,value)) values
((0,text0), (1,text1), (2,text2), ..., (N,textN));
{code}
Each value in the {{values}} clause is a tuple. The first tuple element is
the column name, the second tuple element is the column value. This seems to
be the most simple/accurate representation of what happens during a batch
insert/mutate.
Not having this CQL feature forced us to remove the Datastax Java Driver
(which we liked) in favor of Astyanax because Astyanax supports this
behavior. We desire feature/performance parity between Thrift and
CQL3/Datastax Java Driver, so we hope this request improves both CQL3 and the
Driver.

[~dbros...@apache.org] While the suggestion to support slice queries on a
Cassandra collection would work for my particular example use case, I don't
think it would be the ideal solution for C* in general: the suggested solution
would not work for any collection larger than 65,535 elements since that is the
C* max collection size. If I choose to use a wide row for more columns, I'd
expect the query to work on that as well.
Thanks for the idea!
