"It depends." There are features of a table that allow you to organize the data. You can offline and clone a whole table. You can create locality groups. You can add/remove permissions on whole tables. So, tables have great features.
Intermingling data in the same table has its benefits. For example, the IntersectingIterator pattern allows you to distribute search, and perform complex searches by grouping data elements with their indexes. But, if you are just going to create a row prefix to separate sections that would logically go into different tables, just put them in different tables. -Eric On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 3:58 PM, Roshan Punnoose <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it more performant to have multiple tables for different sets of data, > or would having a properly split table into tablets have the same or better > performance. > > I am storing data in three tables, but I was wondering if putting all that > data into one table, with a row prefix, would have better performance. > Thanks! > > Roshan Punnoose > [email protected] > > > >
