Thankyou for making these issues clear. Currently, in my datamodel, I have the current second( seconds-from-epoch) as the row key and micro second with the client number as the column key. Hence, all the packets received during a particular second on all the clients are stored in t

Hello, I have an application that writes network packets to a Cassandra cluster from a number of client nodes. It uses the libQtCassandra library to access Cassandra. On the homepage of libQtCassandra, its mentioned that switching between keyspaces is costly when storing into Cassandra thereby affe
