Hi, Thanks for replying.
I have kept an eye on the Cassandra logs as well as my app server logs, and I didn't notice any unusual hector/casandra messages there. Where can I configure to see cassandra logs in debug mode? I am pretty sure I haven't touched the 500 mutations in a batch yet. What could be other possibilities for it hanging? It's happening absolutely consistently. rgds, Roshan On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 1:50 AM, Nate McCall <n...@datastax.com> wrote: > It is fine to use multiple coumn families via batch_mutate.
