Back at the beginning of the thread, I recommend merging CFs that have similar data "shapes" and highly correlated access patterns. For example, if you had two CFs, "user profile" and "group profile", that both had fixed-length rows and tended to both be read for some type of operations, those would be a good candidate for merging. Just take the ideas from the black-and-white examples and apply them in a more nuanced way. -- Tyler Hobbs Software Engineer, DataStax <http://datastax.com/> Maintainer of the pycassa <http://github.com/pycassa/pycassa> Cassandra Python client library
