Re: Sorting keys for batch reads to minimize seeks

2013-10-21 Thread Edward Capriolo
I am not sure what you are working on will have an effect. You can not actually control the way the operating system seeks data on disk. The io scheduling is done outside cassandra. You can try to write the code in an optimistic way taking phyical hardware into account, but then you have to

I would say no. If you design around row cache and your data acceas patterns change your assertions will be invalidates and your performance may be worst over time. I would use the kiss here. Keep it a smple usng one column family. Experiement with size teired vs leveled compaction. On Thursday,

An easy way to test this would be to run stress or some other tool at a slow rate of inserts and watch the tables flush and compact naturally. On Tuesday, October 8, 2013, Sameer Farooqui sam...@blueplastic.com wrote: Hmm, good point. I'll test this out again and see the compaction behavior is

Technical reason is path separator, which is different on linux and windows. If you would search through maling list, you would have found evidence it does not work and it is not supported. But, the most recent notice I have found was about 0.7 and there was no jira bug number. Just unsupported.

If you're working with CQL, you don't need to worry about the column names, it's handled for you. If you specify multiple keys as part of the primary key, they become clustering keys and are mapped to the column names. So if you have a sensor_id / time_stamp, all your sensor readings will be
