All, I've got a 4 node cluster (ec2 m1.large instances, replication = 3) that has one primary counter type column family, that has one column in the family. There are millions of rows. Each operation consists of doing a batch_insert through pycassa, which increments ~17k keys. A majority of these keys are new in each batch.
Each operation is taking up to 15 seconds. For our system this is a significant bottleneck. Does anyone know if this write speed is expected? Thanks in advance, Ian
