I checked this and all the numbers seemed to be about the same. Although the files would compact from time to time. There was nothing to suggest why 1 node, ongoingly had less load then the others. Regards, On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 7:22 PM, Alexey Zotov wrote: > Hi Ben, > > I suggest you to compa

Cassandra nodes loaded unequally

2012-10-11 Thread Ben Kaehne
Good morning, I am running a simple 3 node cluster. Each node is relatively powerful. (16 core, lots of ram, good disk etc). All machines are identical. Token ranges are all equal (generated with the python script on datastax website) Although under heavy load I can see the "unix load" be rather

Syncing nodes + Cassandra Data Availability

2012-08-08 Thread Ben Kaehne
Good morning, Our application runs on a 3 node cassandra cluster with RF of 3. We use quorum operations against this cluster in hopes of garunteeing consistency. One scenario in which an issue can occur here is: Out of our 3 nodes, only 2 are up. We perform a write to say, a new key. The down no

Cassandra startup times

2012-07-18 Thread Ben Kaehne
Good evening, I am interested in improving the startup time of our cassandra cluster. We have a 3 node cluster (replication factor of 3) in which our application requires quorum reads and writes to function. Each machine is well specced with 24gig of ram, 10 cores, jna enabled etc. On each serv

Multiple keyspace question

2012-07-05 Thread Ben Kaehne
Good evening, I have read multiple keyspaces are bad before in a few discussions, but to what extent? We have some reasonably powerful machines and looking to host an additional (currently we have 1) 2 keyspaces within our cassandra cluster (of 3 nodes, using RF3). At what point does adding extr

Re: Maximum load per node

2012-06-07 Thread Ben Kaehne
Does this "max load" have correlation to replication factor? IE a 3 node cluster with rf of 3. Should i be worried at {max load} X 3 or what people generally mention the max load is? On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 10:55 PM, Filippo Diotalevi wrote: > Hi, > one of latest Aaron's observation about the ma
