I've been testing Cassandra - primarily looking at reads/second for our fairly data model - one unique key with a row of columns that we always request. I've now setup the cluster with with m1.large (2 cpus 8GB) I had loaded a months worth of data in and was doing random requests as a torture

Re: Wide row column slicing - row size shard limit

2012-02-19 Thread aaron morton
I know the hard limit is 2 billion columns per row. My question is at what size it will slowdown read/write performance and maintenance. The blog I reference said the row size should be less than 10MB. A look at read performance with different row sizes….

Re: about the compaction and read performance

2012-02-19 Thread aaron morton
If you run a manual compaction with nodetool each CF will be compacted to a single SSTable. Not that this is not normally recommended as it means that automatic compaction will take a long time to get to the file. Take a look at nodetool cfhistograms to get an idea of how spread out your

Aside from iostats.. nodetool cfstats will give you read and write latency for each CF. This is the latency for the operation on each node. Check that to see if latency is increasing. Take a look at nodetool compactionstats to see if compactions are running at the same time. The IO is
