You may need to provide some more information on how many reads your sending to the cluster. Also...How many nodes do you have in the cluster ?When you are seeing high response times on one node, what's the load like on the others ?Is the data load evenly distributed around the cluster ? Are your c

i have a question on what are the signs from cassandra that new nodes should be added to the cluster. We are currently seeing long read times from the one node that has about 70GB of data with 60GB in one column family. we are using a replication factor of 3. I have tracked down the slow to occu
