backlogging and scaling

2010-06-08 Thread Jonathan Shook
I'm curious if there are any efforts ongoing to amortize the background tasks in Cassandra over time? Specifically, the cost of compaction and AE, rebalancing, etc seems to be a problem for some users when they are expecting more steady-state performance. While this may sometimes be the result of a
