Hi Dhruva, There are definitely some performance improvements to Storage Engine in Cassandra 3.10 which make it worth the upgrade. Note that Cassandra 3.11 has further bug fixes and it may be worth considering a migration to that version.
Regarding the issue of building a Cassandra 3.10 RPM, it sounds like the team have built their own custom spec file? Has the team looked at using the project spec file and associated instructions in Apache Cassandra GitHub mirror? https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/cassandra-3.10/redhat Kind regards, Anthony On 11 May 2017 at 14:20, Gopal, Dhruva <dhruva.go...@aspect.com> wrote: > Hi – > > We’re currently on 3.9 and have been told that Cassandra 3.10 is a more > stable version to be on.
