Following up on this, I was hoping to get everyone's take on my use case for Cassandra and see if everyone agrees it can meet the requirements: I have a very tight SLA around get times. These are almost always single row fetches for 20-50 columns on a row that is likely under 200 columns. The req

Well, it turns out the Read-Request Latency graph in Ops-Center is highly misleading. Using jconsole, the read-latency for the column family in question is actually normally around 800 microseconds, punctuated by occasional big spikes that drive up the averages. Towards the end of the batc
