Hi Cassandra folks,
Is there any difference in performance of general operations if using a TEXT
based Primary key versus a BIGINT Primary key.
Our use-case requires low latency reads but currently the Primary key is TEXT
based but the data could work on BIGINT. We are trying to optimise where
It's not going to matter at all.

I agree. Cassandra already hashes the partition key to a numeric token.

If you care about low-latency reads, I’d worry less about columnar data types,
and more about the general quality of the data modeling and usage patterns, and
tuning the things that you see cause latency spikes. There isn’t just a single
cause to latency spikes, so expect to spend a couple of m
