To add to what Jonathan and Jack have said... To get high levels of performance with the python driver you should: - prepare your statements once (recent drivers default to Token Aware - and will correctly apply it if the statement is prepared). - execute asynchronously (up to ~150 futur

Make sure the driver is configured for token aware routing, otherwise the coordinator node may have to redirect your write, adding a network hop. To be absolutely clear, Cassandra uses the distributed, parallel model for Big Data - lots of multi-threaded clients with lots of nodes. Clusters with l

Hi everyone, First and foremost thanks to everyone involved with making C* available to the world, it is a great technology to have access to. I'm experimenting with C* for one of our projects and I cannot reproduce the write speeds C* is lauded for. I would appreciate some guidance as to what I'
