Hi,

We are testing Cassandra here, we would like to use it to store some data :
- about 1000 inserts / seconds in a CF "RAW" :
   Column : TimeUUID (timeuuid of the insert, so 1000 new columns / second)
   Row : YYYYMMDDHH of the insert (to minimize the size of rows, the biggest 
one is 2GB data), for example for today at 1:30pm, the row of an insert will be 
2010070713
- 4 CF we are using for indexes, all have the same structure
   Column : TimeUUID of the insert (about 300 new columns per second, each 
correspond to the same timeuuid of the CF "RAW".
   Row : a String (Customer Id).

The goal is for a Customer, to be able to get all its "RAW" for a time range.

Currently Cassandra is running on 4 nodes / 16 GB RAM each, 8 GB JVM_MAX_MEM

It runs correctly during several days. Last night, we started to have timeout 
exception on insert and high cpu load on all nodes.

We stopped inserts. But the CPU remains high (without any insert or read).

We tried to stop and start nodes again, cpu remains high (between 100% and 
150%).


So currently, we can't add more data (timeout exceptions, due to high cpu usage 
I guess).

Could you help me to understand what's wrong ? :)

Cheers,

Olivier


Here are some data :
