What does "show schema" show? Is the CF showing up? Are the data files for the CF on disk? If you poke around with the system CFs, is there any data still present? On 07/17/2012 02:54 PM, sj.climber wrote: Looking for ideas on how to diagnose this issue. I have installed v1.1.2 on a two-node

In Cassandra you don't read-then-write updates, you just write the updates. Sorry for being dense, but can you clarify a logical vs. physical row? Batching is useful for reducing round trips to the server. On 07/18/2012 06:18 AM, Leonid Ilyevsky wrote: I have a question about efficiency of up

Depending on your needs, you could simply duplicate the comments in two separate CFs with the column names including time in one and the vote in the other. If you allow for updates to the comments, that would pose some issues you'd need to solve at the app level. On 9/26/12 4:28 PM, Drew Kutch

Somewhat recently the Ownership column was changed to Effective Ownership. Previously the formula was essentially 100/. Now it's 100*/. So in previous releases of Cassandra it would be 100/12 = 8.33, now it would be closer to 25% (8.33*3 (assuming a replication factor of three)). Kirk

Re: SSTable structure

The tricky thing with documenting the SS tables is that there are a lot of conditionals in the structure, so it makes for twisty reading. Just for fun, here's a terrible start I made once: https://github.com/mustardgrain/cassandra-notes/blob/master/SSTables.md On Mon, Mar 30, 2015, at 05:12 PM,
