Re: Cassandra 082 - Large swap memory

2011-08-28 Thread Peter Schuller
Cassandra process has 63.5 GB virtual size. I mention about RES column in top. RES is 8.3G. Very large than 2.5G Used Memory Used show in JConsole. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2868 But note that RSS = heap size does not imply memory leak, although it is consistent with

Understood. In the code example I provided, I am writing the same value, but I am doing so in quick succession, so perhaps a few second sleep might be helpful. It is worth noting also that the code I provided is only the second step 2 in the process. There is a php script that receives the

Scaling Out / Replication Factor too?

2011-08-28 Thread Ryan Lowe
We are working on a system that has super heavy traffic during specific times... think of sporting events. Other times we will get almost 0 traffic. In order to handle the traffic during the events, we are planning on scaling out cassandra into a very large cluster. The size of our data is

Re: Scaling Out / Replication Factor too?

2011-08-28 Thread Edward Capriolo
So my question is this... if I bring in 20+ nodes, should I increase the replication factor as well? Each write is done to all natural endpoints of the data. If you set replication factor equal to number of nodes write operations do not scale. This is because each write has to happen on every

[ANN] Chronologic, a Ruby/Cassandra service for activity feeds

2011-08-28 Thread Adam Keys
We've been introducing Cassandra into our stack at Gowalla over the past year or so. We recently released the fruits of some of that work. Chronologic is a service for publishing and aggregating activity feeds in social applications. It exposes a REST/JSON API via Ruby and stores all the feeds,

Edward, This information (and the presentation) was very helpful... but I still have a few more questions. During a test run, I brought up 16 servers with RF of 2 and Read Repair Chance of 1.0. However, like I mentioned, the load was only on a few servers. I attempted to increase the Key and

I meant to also add that we do not necessarily care if the Reads are somewhat stale... if two people reading from the cluster at the same time get different results (say within a 5 min window) then that is acceptable. performance is the key thing. Ryan On Sun, Aug 28, 2011 at 7:24 PM, Ryan Lowe

Re: 4/20 nodes get disproportionate amount of mutations

2011-08-28 Thread Jeremy Hanna
I just mean that when it tries to put a replica on another rack which is part of what the replication strategy does in case a whole rack goes down, it looks to the next token in the ring that is on another rack. If you don't alternate racks (or in this case availability zones) in token order,

minor compaction of secondary index that no longer exists?

2011-08-28 Thread Jeremy Hanna
I was watching compactionstats via opscenter and saw one of my nodes was minor compacting a secondary index column family. Problem is I removed all of my secondary indexes on Friday and just double checked on the CLI with 'show keyspaces;' and sure enough, no secondary indexes. Is this a bug?

What are the things to watch out for with big nodes

2011-08-28 Thread Anand Somani
Hi, If I have a cluster with 15-20T nodes, somethings that I know will be a potential problem are - Compactions taking longer - Higher read latencies - Long time for adding/removing nodes What are other things that can be problematic with big nodes? Regards Anand
