> @Chris, Did you get any bench you could share with us? We're still working on it. It's a lower priority task so it will take a while to finish. So far we've run on all the AWS data centers in the US and used several different setups. We also did a test on Rackspace with one setup and some whitebox servers we had in the office. (The whitebox servers are still running I believe.)
I don't have the numbers here, but the fastest by far is the non-virtualized whitebox servers. No real surprise. Rackspace was faster than AWS US-West; US-West faster than the than US-East. We always use 3 Cassandra servers and one or two machines to run stress.py. I don't think we're seeing the 7500 writes/sec so maybe our config is wrong. You'll have to be patient until my colleague writes this all up. Cheers, Chris Dean
