HI Bo; you raised 2 questions: 20% system utilization Hints 20% system utilization: For a node or a cluster to have 20% utilization is Normal during peak write operation. Hints: hints are written when a node is unreachable;C* 3.0 has a complete over haul in the way hints have

Hi Bo, > In our case, I would like for the cluster to wait for the write to be persisted on the relevant nodes before returning an ok to the client. But I don't know which knobs to turn to accomplish this? or if it is even possible :) This is what write consistency option is for. Have a look at

When are hints written?

Hi, We have a small 5 node cluster of m4.xlarge clients that receives writes from ~20 clients. The clients will write as fast as they can, and the whole process is limited by the write performance of the cassandra cluster. After we have tweaked our schema to avoid large partitions, the load is
