Using Cassandra as an object store

2019-04-18 Thread Gene
Howdy I'm looking at the possibility of using cassandra as an object store to offload image/blob data from an Oracle database. I've seen mentions of it being used as an object store in a large scale fashion, like with Walmart:

We do multiple nodes per host as a standard practice. In our case, we never put 2 nodes from a single cluster on the same host, though as mentioned before, you could potentially get away with that if you properly use rack awareness, just be careful of load. We also do NOT use any other layer of

hi, Thank you for your answers, starting with the most important point from your answers I understand that "it is OK to go more than 1 TB in disk usage" so in this case if I am going to use the 50% of the disk capacity I will end up having around 3 TB per node which in this case I will not

So how much data can you safely fit per node using SSDs with Cassandra 3.11? How much free space do you need on your disks? There should be some recommendations on node sizes on: http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/latest/operating/hardware.html Documentation - Apache

Agreed with Jeff here. The whole "community recommends no more than 1TB" has been around, and inaccurate, for a long time. The biggest issue with dense nodes is how long it takes to replace them. 4.0 should help with that under certain circumstances. On Thu, Apr 18, 2019 at 6:57 AM Jeff Jirsa

Agreed that you can go larger than 1T on ssd You can do this safely with both instances in the same cluster if you guarantee two replicas aren’t on the same machine. Cassandra provides a primitive to do this - rack awareness through the network topology snitch. The limitation (until 4.0) is

What is the data problem that you are trying to solve with Cassandra? Is it high availability? Low latency queries? Large data volumes? High concurrent users? I would design the solution to fit the problem(s) you are solving. For example, if high availability is the goal, I would be very

Hi all, In our small company we have 10 nodes of (2 x 3 TB HD) 6 TB each, 128 GB ram and 64 cores and we are thinking to use them as Cassandra nodes. From what I am reading around, the community recommends that every node should not keep more than 1 TB data so in this case I am wondering if it
