We have a five node cluster, using replication factor of 3. The application is only sending write requests at this point - we'd like to gain some operation experience with it first before start read from it.
We are seeing over a hundred compaction activities on each server, some of them are for HintsColumnFamily. Each machine has 32 GB memory, two disk arrays, one with raid 0 for commit log, one with raid 5 for data. We are using version 0.6.1, and pretty much the out of the box storage.xml. Is this normal? Where should we look for tuning?
