Hello - I have been running read tests on Cassandra using "stress" tool. I have been noticing that thrift seems to be taking lot of CPU over 70% when I look at the "CPU samples" report. Is this normal?
CPU usage seems to go down by 5 to 10% when I change the RPC from "sync" to "async". Is this normal? I am running Cassandra 0.8.4 on Cent OS 5.6 ( Kernel 2.6.18.238) and Oracle JVM. - Thanks Baskar Duraikannu
