I am guessing you already asked if they could give you three 100MB files instead? so you could parallelize the operation. or maybe your task doesn't lend itself well to that. Dean On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Pushpalanka Jayawardhana < pushpalankaj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am d

There are 4 jobs submitted by the wordcount cassandra example and the first one fails and the other 3 all pass and work with results. The first job I noticed is looking for column name text0 due to i being 0 in the loop. The exception is not going through the wordcount code at all though, but thi

I am trying to run the word count example and looking at the source, I don't see where it knows which job tracker to connect to. 1. Would I be correct in guessing that I have to run hadoop jar ? (just wondering why I don't see a port/hostname for job tracker in the WordCount.java file) This t

2011-10-12 Thread Dean Hiller
I heard cassandra may be going the direction of removing super column and users are starting to just use prefixes in front of the column. The reason I ask is I was going the way of only using supercolumns and then many tables were fixed with just one supercolumn per row as the structure for that t

I was wondering something. Since I can take OPP and I can create a layer that for certain column families, I hash the key so that some column families are just like RP but on top of OPP and some of my other column families are then on OPP directly so I could use lucandra, why not make RP deprecate

Ideally, we would want to have a replication factor of 4, and a minimum write consistency of 2 (which looking at the default in cassandra.yaml is to memory first with asynch to disk...perfect so far!!!) Now, obviously, I can get the partitioner setup to make sure I get 2 replicas in each data cent

Is there a framework for stopping all nodes/starting all nodes for cassandra? I am okay with something like password-less ssh setup that hadoop scripts did...just something that allows me to start and stop the whole cluster. thanks, Dean
