Re: [DISCUSSION] High-volume counters in Cassandra

2010-09-02 Thread Torsten Curdt
I cannot say anything about the implementation details of the patch or even the two different approaches. Not sure that even matters that much at this stage.

2010-09-02 Thread Johan Oskarsson
In the last few months Digg and Twitter have been using a counter patch that lets Cassandra act as a high-volume realtime counting system. Atomic counters enable new applications that were previously difficult to implement at scale, including realtime analytics and large-scale systems monitoring

You can't, yet. There are examples in test/system/test_thrift_server.py; look for "index" (moving to user@) On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 8:20 AM, Changjiu Jin wrote: > Hello, > > > > Where can we find docs about the secondary index? > > > > Thanks > > > > > > > > -- Jonathan Ellis Project Chair,
