Hello everybody, first: sorry for my english in advance!!
I'm getting started with Cassandra on a 5 nodes cluster inserting data with the pycassa API. I've read everywere on internet that cassandra's performance are better than MySQL because of the writes append's only into commit logs files. When i'm trying to insert 100 000 rows with 10 columns per row with batch insert, I'v this result: 27 seconds But with MySQL (load data infile) this take only 2 seconds (using indexes) Here my configuration cassandra version: 0.7.5 nodes : 192.168.1.210, 192.168.1.211, 192.168.1.212, 192.168.1.213, 192.168.1.214 seed: 192.168.1.210 My script ************************************************************************************************************* #!/usr/bin/env python import pycassa import time import random from cassandra import ttypes pool = pycassa.connect('test', ['192.168.1.210:9160']) cf = pycassa.ColumnFamily(pool, 'test') b = cf.batch(queue_size=50, write_consistency_level=ttypes.ConsistencyLevel.ANY) tps1 = time.time() for i in range(100000): columns = dict() for j in range(10): columns[str(j)] = str(random.randint(0,100)) b.insert(str(i), columns) b.send() tps2 = time.time() print("execution time: " + str(tps2 - tps1) + " seconds") ************************************************************************************************************* what I'm doing rong ?
