Re: Ball is rolling on High Performance Cassandra Cookbook second edition

Hi Edward, That's a great news! One thing I'd like to see in the new edition is Counters, known issues and how to avoid them: - avoid double counting (don't retry on failure, use write consistency level ONE, use dedicated Hector connector?) - delete counters (tricky, reset to zero?) - othe

Re: Ball is rolling on High Performance Cassandra Cookbook second edition

I'm looking forward to getting a few copies of this. Some areas that would be great to cover - Indexing strategies - Configuring clients/env for sane timestamping - Efficient CQL - Top 8/10 perf issues/stacktraces and common resolutions - understanding nodetool tpstats/cfhistograms/cfst

Re: Ball is rolling on High Performance Cassandra Cookbook second edition

Sounds good. One thing I'd like to see is more coverage on Cassandra Internals. Out of the box Cassandra's great but having a little inside knowledge can be very useful because it helps you design your applications to work with Cassandra; rather than having to later make endless optimizations that
