Devil’s advocate: how does anyone know?
Neither CEP-26 nor Cassandra-18397 contain a single graph or explanation or
comparison of any prod use case. CEP-26 describes a load test but I don’t see
the results posted on the ticket or the wiki.
There IS a talk from a conference with a video on YouTube but I missed the
conference and haven’t had time to watch the video, but it’s not like the
official project run docs make it easy to infer state.
Look at Cassandra-9666 and see how many people posted production side by side
comparisons before that got merged.
(I buy UCS isn’t beta. I don’t buy it’s default ready yet. Only because there’s
zero tangible evidence readily available to me right now).
