Well as they say "Lies, damned lies, and statistics" This is a alternate comparison you can review: http://www.cubrid.org/blog/dev-platform/nosql-benchmarking/
YCSB is a known and agreed upon benchmark. The benchmark you link includes no sourcecode to reproduce with and as the author mentions "For Cassandra this was single node cluster, for Mongo simply one server with no replication. Cluster tests were run for functionality." -Jake On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 1:56 PM, Kevin <klawso...@gmail.com> wrote: > I’m currently using 0.8.6 and want to know how much (performance wise), > Cassandra has improved.
