Thanks Bowen,
* "How do you split?"
challenging to answer short, but let me try: physical host has cores
from idx 0 - 11 (6 physical and 6 virtual in pairs - they are in
pairs as 0,6 belongs together, then 1,7 and then 2,8 and so on)
What we do is that in the virt-install command we
Hi Attila,
Addressing your data modelling issue is definitely important, and this
alone may be enough to solve all the issues you have with Cassandra.
* "Since these are VMs, is there any chance they are competing for
resources on the same physical host?"
We are splitting the physical
Hi Erick,
Please allow me to disagree on this. A node dropping reads and writes
doesn't always mean the disk is the bottleneck. I have seen the same
behaviour when a node had excessive STW GCs and a lots of timeouts, and
I have also seen writes get dropped because the size of the mutation
ex
The tpstats you posted show that the node is dropping reads and writes
which means that your disk can't keep up with the load meaning your disk is
the bottleneck. If you haven't already, place data and commitlog on
separate disks so they're not competing for the same IO bandwidth. Note
that It's OK
you did not specify read and write consistency levels, default would be to
hit two nodes (one for data, one for digest) with every query. Network load
of 50% is not too helpful. 1gbit? 10gbit? 50% of each direction or average
of both?
Iowait is not great for a system of this size: assuming that yo
Thanks for the answers @Sean and @Bowen !!!
First of all, this article described very similar thing we experience -

Based on my personal experience, the combination of slow read queries
and low CPU usage is often an indicator of bad table schema design
(e.g.: large partitions) or bad query (e.g. without partition key).
Check the Cassandra logs first, is there any long stop-the-world GC?

Are there specific queries that are slow? Partition-key queries should have
read latencies in the single digits of ms (or faster). If that is not what you
are seeing, I would first review the data model and queries to make sure that
the data is modeled properly for Cassandra. Without metrics, I
