Hi Lars, 1)I have around 140 columns for each row , out of 140 , around 100 rows are holds java primitive data type , remaining 40 rows contains serialized java object as byte array. Yes , I do delete data but the frequency is very less ( 1 out of 5K operations ). I dont run any compaction. 2) I had ran scan keeping in mind the CPU,IO and other system related parameters.I found them to be normal with system load being 0.1-0.3. 3) Yes i have 3 versions of cell ( default value).
