Hello all!

Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm new to Cassandra and really
want to get it working :)

Below you'll find the output from tpstats on the three nodes in my .8.1
cluster. As you'll note from ring (also below), my cluster appears balanced.
However, please note that NODE1 is the only node that has completed any
ReplicateOnWriteStage actions. I've been having a lot of trouble with RoW
and seen a single node in my various test clusters get hugely backed up on
this stage to the point where it slows all writes to a crawl.

I'm using counters in a column family defined like this:

==== KEYSPACE/CF ====

create keyspace Keyspace1
    with strategy_options=[{replication_factor:3}]
    and placement_strategy = 'org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy';

use Keyspace1;

create column family TwitterTest
    with default_validation_class = CounterColumnType
    and replicate_on_write = true;

====


With any given batch_insert() I'm incrementing ~17,000 counters. I've backed
off a bit and started using ConsistencyLevel.QUORUM, as it was suggested
elsewhere that ANY or ONE could overwhelm the system.


I hope I'm just doing something stupid and one you experienced folks can
point out my error.

Thanks in advance!

Ian
