Hi, We recently switched from Cassandra 0.7.2 to 0.8.5 and observing considerable performance degradation in embedded server's response times that we use in integration tests.
One thing that we do is that we truncate our app column families after each integration test so that the next one gets a new DB slate (wierd? but with RDBMS that we used earlier, we just rolled back the transaction to get rid of changes done in an integration test. CF truncation is a costly workaround for that, which we will be very happy to avoid if anyone knows some trick). So, with the situation we are in, is anyone aware of any cassandra 0.8.5 cofiguration that can be tweaked to at least get the performance we were getting with 0.7.2? Exactly after the upgrade, our test execution times have gone up at least by 60-70%. Some pointers please? Thanks. -- Roshan Blog: http://roshandawrani.wordpress.com/ Twitter: @roshandawrani <http://twitter.com/roshandawrani> Skype: roshandawrani
