We are not currently live but testing with Cassandra. I'm looking for recommendations on the most efficient way to load text files over 25GBs in size to Cassandra (version 0.8.6). Our application may require us to load 2-3 text files between 25-40GBs each a few times a week to our 3 node cluster. I was reading this article on DataStax: http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/bulk-loading
Is it most efficient to create the sstables and then use sstableloader or does anyone have other recommendations to "bulk load data"? We are new to Cassandra and trying to work within what is generally acceptable practices. Thanks Mike
