I've been too smart for my own good trying to type columns, on the theory that it would later increase performance by having more efficient comparators in place. So if a string represents an integer, I would convert it to an integer and declare the column as such. Same for LONG.
What I found is that during the write operation, the type conversion kills the performance. It's really not too trivial amount of time. Has anyone had a similar experience? -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Virtues-and-pitfall-of-using-TYPES-tp6042432p6042432.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
