We are running OpenJDK7 with G1GC and encountered no issues so far. We took the tuning parameters from the Cassandra 3.0 branch. Kind regards, Nathan On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 6:25 AM Kevin Burton wrote: > Possibly for existing apps… we’re running G1 for everything except > Elasticsearch and Ca

Thanks for the suggestion, will take a look. Our code looks like this: val rdd = sc.cassandraTable[EventV0](keyspace, "test") val transformed = rdd.map{e => EventV1(e.testId, e.ts, e.channel, e.groups, e.event)} transformed.saveToCassandra(keyspace, "test_v1") Not sure if this code might transl

We are using the Spark Cassandra driver, version 1.2.0 (Spark 1.2.1) connecting to a 6 node bare metal (16gb ram, Xeon E3-1270 (8core), 4x 7,2k SATA disks) Cassandra cluster. Spark runs on a separate Mesos cluster. We are running a transformation job, where we read the complete contents of a table

For Analytics workloads combining Spark and Cassandra will bring you lots of flexibility and performance. However you will have to setup and learn Spark. The Spark Cassandra connector is very performant and a joy to work with. N. On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 4:09 PM Matthew Johnson wrote: > Our requ

2015-04-22 Thread Nathan Bijnens
We had some serious issues with 2.1.3: - Bootstrapping a new node resulted in OOM - Repair resulted in an OOM on several nodes - When reading some parts of the data it caused cascading crashes on all it's replica nodes. Downgrading to the 2.0.X branch didn't work because of some incompatibilities,
