tuning for read performance

2012-10-22 Thread feedly team
Hi, I have a small 2 node cassandra cluster that seems to be constrained by read throughput. There are about 100 writes/s and 60 reads/s mostly against a skinny column family. Here's the cfstats for that family: SSTable count: 13 Space used (live): 231920026568 Space used (total): 231920026

in cassandra-cli, i did something like: update column family xyz with compaction_strategy='LeveledCompactionStrategy' On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 5:20 AM, Jean-Armel Luce wrote: > > Hello, > > I am using Cassandra 1.1.1 and CQL3. > I have a cluster with 1 node (test environment) > Could you tell ho

I have a column family that I am using for consistency purposes. Basically a marker column is written to a row in this family before some actions take place and is deleted only after all the actions complete. The idea is that if something goes horribly wrong this table can be read to see what needs

I am having an issue where one node of a 2 node cluster seems to be using much more I/O than the other node. the cassandra read/write requests seem to be balanced, but iostat shows the data disk to be maxed at 100% utilization for one machine and <50% for the other. r/s to be about 3x greater on th

ind of off-heap memory? I'm a little puzzled as to why I would get such long pauses without swapping. I uncommented all the gc logging options in cassandra-env.sh to try to see what is going on when the node freezes. Thanks Kireet On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 9:51 PM, feedly team wrote: > Yeah

Hello, I recently set up a 2 node cassandra cluster on dedicated hardware. In the logs there have been a lot of "InetAddress xxx is now dead' or UP messages. Comparing the log messages between the 2 nodes, they seem to coincide with extremely long ParNew collections. I have seem some of up to 50
