It's the timestamps provided in the columns that do concurrency
control/conflict resolution. Basically, the newer timestamp wins.
For counters I think there is no such mechanism (i.e. counter updates are
not idempotent).

I have further questions:
-Is there any other way to stract the contect of SSTable, writing a
java program for example instead of using sstable2json?
-I tried to get tombstons using the thrift API, but seems to be not
possible, is it right? When I try, the program throws an exception.
thanks in ad
I didn't track mailing list since 1.1-rc is out and know i have several
questions.
1) We want to upgrade from 1.09. How stable 1.1 is? I mean work under
high load, running compactions and clean-ups? Is it faster then 1.09?
2) If i what to use hector as cassandra client which version is better
Is it possible ? How ?
Thank you all.
We're planning to move soon to a more advanced version.
But for now I have a lot of data on my 0.7 cluster which i dont want
to lose, just because of some schema error on restart etc.
I dont mind losing any writes during the shutdown, however losing ALL
the data would require me to
Hi all,
We are planning to deploy a small cluster with 4 nodes in one DC first, and
will expend that to 8 nodes, then add another DC with 8 nodes for fail over
(not active-active), so all the traffic will go to the 1st cluster, and
switch to 2nd cluster if the whole 1st cluster is down or on maint
1) Stable is a hard word to define. History shows it is better to let
anything .0 burn in a bit. if you are pre-production it probably does
not matter, otherwise I would say play safe. Wait for a .1 or .2 or
the .0 is in the wild for a few weeks.
2) I worked on one of the patches to get hector work
Anyone have a rough idea of when Cassandra 1.1.1 is likely to be released?

Ah. The lack of page cache hits after compaction makes sense. But I don't think
the drastic effect it appears to have is expected. Do you have an idea of how
much slower local reads get ?
If you are selecting coordinators based on token ranges the DS is not as much.
It still has some utility as

Many nodes good. You will have increased availability if the data is more
widely distributed.

First, note that replication is done at the row level, not at the node level.
That line should look more like:
placement_strategy = 'NetworkTopologyStrategy' and strategy_options = {DC1:
1,DC2: 1,DC3: 1 }
This means that each row will have one copy in each DC and within each DC it's
placement
Thanks!
My missunderstanding was the snitch names are broken up by DC1:RAC1
and the strategy_options takes only the first part of the snitch
names?

OP described himself as "experimenting" which I inferred to mean
not-production. I agree with others
You can avoid the confusion by using the term natural endpoints. For
example, with a replication factor of 3 natural endpoints for key x
are node1, node2, node11.

It's not keyspaces, but the number of column families.
Without storing any data each CF uses about 1MB of ram. When they start storing
and reading data they use more.

What clients are the scripts using ? This sounds like something that should be
handled in the client.
I would worry about holding a long running connection to a single node. There
are several situations where the correct behaviour for a client is to kill a
connection and connect to another nod
Still getting this ? Was there some more to the message ?
Here's an example from the internets http://pastebin.com/WdD7181x
it may be an issue with the JVM on windows.

Minor compaction will remove the tombstones if the row only exists in the
sstable being compaction.
Are these very wide rows that are constantly written to ?

I'm doing some guessing here, i am guessing memory usage is the problem..

the row cache if you have a random workload, whic
The cluster is running into GC problems and this is slowing it down under the
stress test. When it slows down one or more of the nodes is failing to perform
the write within rpc_timeout . This causes the coordinator of the write to
raise the TimedOutException.

CASSANDRA-4230 is a bug in 1.1
I am not aware of issues using snapshot on 1.0.9. But errno 0 is a bit odd.

the string "Unable to create hard link" and the error message. What does that
say ?

They minor compaction will be triggered less frequently b
Composite Columns compare each part in turn, so the values are ordered as
you've shown them.
However the rows are not ordered according to key value. They are ordered using
the random token generated by the partitioner see

Compactions do not stop the world, they may degrade performance for a while but
thats about it.
Look in the logs on the servers, are the nodes logging that other nodes are
going DOWN ?

node tool passes the host name un modified to the JMX library to connect to the

The JMX server will, by default, bind to the ip address of the machine.
If the host name was wrong, I would guess the JMX service failed to bind.

No, these were not wide rows. They are rows that formerly had one or 2
columns. The columns are deleted but the empty rows dont go away, even after
gc_grace_secs.
So if I understand... the empty row will only be removed after gc_grace if
enough compactions have occurred so that all the column
