Cassandra supports clusters spanning multiple data centers (see RackAwareStrategy and contrib/property_snitch), but not replication between distinct clusters. On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 9:36 AM, Mehar Chaitanya meharchaita...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All I was done with installing cassandra and

While being able to write (with CL.ZERO or new-in-0.6 ANY) even if all the real write targets are down is cool, but since your goal in real life is to keep enough replicas alive that you can actually do reads, I'm not sure how useful it is. HH also has a measurable performance problem in small

Folks, As many of you might have seen, the Google SoC 2010 is approaching[1]. Would it be a good idea to start collecting a few ideas and explore SoC possibilities ? k/ [1] http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-discuss/browse_thread/thread/d839c0b02ac15b3f

I hadn't thought about that, but it's a great idea. I imagine the ASF will be a qualified organization once again with no further work necessary on our part in that area, so all we'd need to do would be come up with projects of appropriate scope. Any ideas there? On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 10:51

The HH code currently tries to send the hints to nodes other than the natural endpoints. If small-scale performance is a problem, we could make the natural endpoints be responsible for the hints. This reduces durability a bit, but might be a decent tradeoff. The other interesting benefit is
