Experimental results: everything we thought we knew about thread-pools is wrong

2019-03-13 Thread Matthew Stump
Howdy, As a followup to my earlier thread I wanted to share some of our experimental data using an auto-tuning agent to find optimal thread pool settings for C*. The results surprised me. It invalidated a lot of previous thinking about tuning C* and calls into question some of the decisions that w

Looking for feedback on automated root-cause system

2019-02-19 Thread Matthew Stump
Howdy, I’ve been engaged in the Cassandra user community for a long time, almost 8 years, and have worked on hundreds of Cassandra deployments. One of the things I’ve noticed in myself and a lot of my peers that have done consulting, support or worked on really big deployments is that we get burnt

Dynamic column families

2011-12-13 Thread Matthew Stump
If I create a column family with a comparator of: DynamicCompositeType(a=>UTF8Type,b=>UTF8Type,c=>UTF8Type,t=>TimeUUIDType) Can I do an insert that has a column where a,b,c,t are set and an insert with a,b,t are set, or must I always set values for colums a,b,c,t? If I must always set values

Ruby, CQL and client libraries

2011-12-05 Thread Matthew Stump
Howdy, I'm working on transferring an existing Ruby on Rails project from Postgres to Cassandra and I have a couple questions about the Ruby client libraries and client libraries in general. 1.) Is it the opinion of the community and the Datastax engineers that client libraries should migrate

How reliable is cassandra?

Am I crazy to want to switch our server's primary data store from postgres to cassandra? This is a system used by banks and governments to store crypto keys which absolutely can not be lost.

Multi-indexing data

2010-03-28 Thread Matthew Stump
Hi, I have a question about Cassandra's data model I was hoping you guys could help me with. Most of our queries are performed against a series of tables containing crypto keys and their associated meta data. A key could have any number of identifiable attributes that need to be searchable: ia
