Thanks that is really good to know and gives confidence to those of us that have hope for Cassandra. I still get comments from friends who wonder why I want to use it when Oracle is available. I tell them I am preparing for the future and willing to try and wait out for newer better releases. S

The "run versions >= x.x.6" is IMO an out of date trope. Not only does 2.1 have more than twice as many engineers working full time on it, and five times the QA engineers (which is cumulative with prior QA), we are also seeing many more users in the wild running release candidates and providing val

Ok I was wondering if 2.0.9 install reuses the old tables. I am also wondering if Cassandra 2.0.9 is installed without any other Cassandra install present if the installed Cassandra will work. I always reload everything by scripts so I did that but wondering if I need to do what I mentioned abov

Thanks for the suggestions. I am planning to wait till 2.1 is released and for one or two minor releases that is why I have been on 1.2.5. When I installed 2.0.9 I created everything via java scripts so as to avoid any issues and it does not use anything from the older one. Does Cassandra insta

Ooops - 1.2.5 to 2.0.9? You should have first upgraded to (at least) 1.2.9 before upgrade to 2.0.x. See http://www.datastax.com/documentation/upgrade/doc/upgrade/cassandra/upgradeC_c.html Am 20.08.2014 um 23:22 schrieb Tony Anecito : > I just upgraded to 2.0.9 from 1.2.5 and had to make some sma

Thanks again Rebert. I just upgraded to 2.0.9 from 1.2.5 and had to make some small changes regarding Order By and IN used together. I had to disable paging. The upgrade was easy and worked well so far and hoping if I upgrade to 2.1.x when released I do not have to do any more code changes. I

50% is the official statement. It depends on the workload and machine capabilities. But AFAIK 50% is a rough estimate. CQL over the native protocol is generally faster than Thrift. Native protocol also allows the client (e.g. the DataStax Drivers) to get informed about cluster changes (node add

Many Thanks Robert! One last question. I read on someones blog that 2.1 will be up to 50% faster than 2.0.9 and that CQL will be the fastest to use rather than thrift. Any comments/thoughts on that? Thanks, -Tony On Wednesday, August 20, 2014 3:03 PM, Robert Stupp wrote: Am 20.08.2014

Hi All, I have a couple of simple questions. When will Cassandra 2.1 be released as GA? Will there be a datastax CQL driver available then? Will Cassandra 2.1 and Datastax CQL driver support nested selects? If not for a combination key table and detailed table (Star Schema) what is the fastest
