Here's a sample request trace (Cassandra 1.2.1), where there's a gap of almost 60ms between one of the two local quorum nodes receiving a message and the row cache getting hit. There's then a further almost 60ms delay between the response enqueue and the actual send. Please see 54.234.178.159 in the trace below. My question is what (besides GC pauses) could be causing this? There was no load on the nodes during this request.
Thanks. tracing on; CONSISTENCY LOCAL_QUORUM; select * from "Account" where key = 'AXNB7rW9q7l4dqOT4gNkcwfU767fcFtW'; Now tracing requests.
