Re: Timeout error in fetching million rows as results using clustering keys

Content management (large blobs such as images and video) can be done with Cassandra, but it is tricky and great care is needed. As with any Cassandra app, you need to model your data based on how you intend to query and access the data. You can certainly access large amounts of data with Cassandra

With your reading path and data model, it doesn't matter how many nodes you have. All data with the same image_caseid is physically located on one node (Well, on RF nodes but only one of those will try to server your query). You are not taking advantage of Cassandra by creating hot spots on both re

Cassandra can certainly handle millions and even billions of rows, but... it is a very clear anti-pattern to design a single query to return more than a relatively small number of rows except through paging. How small? Low hundreds is probably a reasonable limit. It is also an anti-pattern to filte

If even 500-1000 isn't working, then your cassandra node might not be up. 1) Try running nodetool status from shell on your cassandra server, make sure the nodes are up. 2) Are you calling this on the same server where cassandra is running? Its trying to connect to localhost . If you're running

The rendering tool renders a portion a very large image. It may fetch different data each time from billions of rows. So I don't think I can cache such large results. Since same results will rarely fetched again. Also do you know how I can do 2d range queries using Cassandra. Some other users sugg

I would probably do this in a background thread and cache the results, that way when you have to render, you can just cache the latest results. I don't know why Cassandra can't seem to be able to fetch large batch sizes, I've also run into these timeouts but reducing the batch size to 2k seemed to
