Cassandra on top of B-Tree

2010-03-28 Thread Primal Wijesekera
Hi All, I am a master student in UBC CS dept. I along with one of my lab mates are trying to implement the Cassandra on top of a B-Tree implementation rather than of DHT approach that we have right now. We hope to do benchmarking the two approaches and really want to see which one scales better

Here is why I think it is not a good fit for Cassandra (at least top 3 reasons that come to mind): (1) Cassandra strives to make updates very very cheap. With BTree's every update is a read modify write. (2) BTree on rebalance tend to result in a lot of fragmentation leading to poorer performance
