Hi folks,
We have updated the confluence page with the source code for CEP-28. There are two repositories with contributions. One is the patch [1] for Cassandra Sidecar with the bulk APIs that enable the Cassandra Spark Analytics library. The second is a new repository [2] with contributions to the Cassandra Spark Analytics code We also have a README markdown file that you can follow to give the code a try: https://github.com/frankgh/cassandra-analytics/blob/trunk/cassandra-analytics-core-example/README.md Best, - Francisco [1] Apache Cassandra Sidecar bulk APIs source code: https://github.com/frankgh/cassandra-sidecar/tree/CEP-28-bulk-apis [2] Apache Cassandra Spark Analytics source code: https://github.com/frankgh/cassandra-analytics On 2023/04/05 15:18:07 Doug Rohrer wrote: > Sorry for the delay in responding here - yes, we can add some diagrams to the CEP - I’ll try to get that done by end-of-week. > > Thanks, > > Doug > > > On Mar 28, 2023, at 1:14 PM, J.

For bulk read, it takes snapshots and streams sstables to spark workers to read. For bulk write, it imports the sstables uploaded from spark workers. All commands are existing jmx/nodetool functionalities from Cassandra. Sidecar adds the http interface to them. It might be an over simplified description.

The JVM simply does not have significant granularity of control for resource utilization, but this is explicitly a feature of separate processes. Add in being able to separate GC domains and you can avoid a lot of noisy neighbor in-VM behavior for the disparate workloads. > >>>> > >>>> Cheers, > >>>> > >>>> Derek > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> -- > >>>> +---------------------------------------------------------------+ > >>>> | Derek Chen-Becker | > >>>> | GPG Key available at https://keybase.io/dchenbecker and | > >>>> | https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?search=derek%40chen-becker.org | > >>>> | Fngrprnt: EB8A 6480 F0A3 C8EB C1E7 7F42 AFC5 AFEE 96E4 6ACC | > >>>> +---------------------------------------------------------------+ > >>>> > > -- Francisco Guerrero
