The worst case for cassandra is random reads. You should ask youself a question, do you really have this kind of workload in production ? If you really do, that means cassandra is not the right tool for the job. Some product based on berkeley db should work better, e.g. voldemort. Just plain old filesystem is also good for 100% random reads (if you dont need to backup of course).
