Re: Cassandra Clients for Java

My team prefers Pelops. https://github.com/s7/scale7-pelops It's had failover since 0.7. http://groups.google.com/group/scale7/browse_thread/thread/19d441b7cd000de0/624257fe4f94a037 With respect to avoiding writing marshaling code yourself, I agree with the OP that that is rather lacking with the

That's pretty awesome! Apologies for my misleading statement about marshaling support. I clearly haven't been keeping up. :) On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 8:13 PM, Dan Washusen wrote: > > Also, a quick look at the Hector wiki suggests that they have some form of > annotation support ( > https://github

0.7.6-2 Download URLs Broken

All of the download URLs for 0.7.6-2 appear to be broken. The issue appears to be a lack of "-2" in the path. http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ Dan

SSTable symlinks

Hi all, I am nursing an overloaded 0.6 cluster through compaction to get its disk usage under 50%. Many rows' content have been replaced so that after compaction there will be plenty of room, but a couple of nodes are currently at 95%. One strategy I considered is temporarily moving a couple of t

Re: Please advise -- 750MB object possible?

2012-02-22 Thread Dan Retzlaff
Chunking is a good idea, but you'll have to do it yourself. A few of the columns in our application got quite large (maybe ~150MB) and the failure mode was RPC timeout exceptions. Nodes couldn't always move that much data across our data center interconnect in the default 10 seconds. With enough he

My team switched our production stack from Hector to Pelops a while back, based largely on this admittedly subjective "programmer experience" bit. I've found Pelops' code and abstractions significantly easier to follow and integrate with, plus Pelops has had feature-parity with Hector for all of ou

0.6.5 OOM during high read load

Dear experts, :) Our application triggered an OOM error in Cassandra 0.6.5 by reading the same 1.7MB column repeatedly (~80k reads). I analyzed the heap dump, and it looks like the column value was queued 5400 times in an OutboundTcpConnection destined for the Cassandra instance that received the
