Re: Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

Thank you for your time Jeff, very helpful.I couldn't find anything out there about the subject and I suspected that this could be the case. Regarding the clustering key in this case: Back in the RDBMS world, you will always assign a sequential (or as sequential as possible) clustering key to a t

Re: Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

Thank you Jeff, So, if I understood your email correctly, there is no restriction but I should be using clustering for performance reasons. I am expecting to store 10B rows per year in this table and each row will have a user defined type with an approx size of 1500 bytes. The access to the data i

Hi Jeff, Could you expand: "Tables without clustering keys are often deceptively expensive to compact, as a lot of work (relative to the other cell boundaries) happens on partition boundaries." This is something I didn't know and highly interesting to know more about! -- Carlos Rolo On Wed, Mar

Re: Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

There is no limit The token range of murmur3 is 2^64, but Cassandra properly handles token overlaps (we use a key that’s effectively a tuple of the token/hash and the underlying key itself), so having more than 2^64 partitions won’t hurt anything in theory That said, having that many partition

Re: Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

Thank you Rahul, but is it a good practice to use a large range here? Or would it be better to create partitions with more than 1 row (by using a clustering key)? >From a data query point of view I will be accessing the rows by a UID one at a time. F Javier Pareja On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 11:12 AM,

Re: [External] Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

Hi Javier, When our users ask this question, I tend to answer "keep it above a billion". More partitions is better. I'm not aware of any actual limits on partition count. Practically it's almost always limited by the disk space in a server. Tom van der Woerdt Site Reliability Engineer Booking.c

Is there any limit in the number of partitions that a table can have

Hello all, I have been trying to find an answer to the following but I have had no luck so far: Is there any limit to the number of partitions that a table can have? Let's say a table has a partition key an no clustering key, is there a recommended limit on the number of values that this partition
