Hi, I'm quite desperate about Cassandra's performance in our production cluster. We have 8 real-HW nodes, 32core CPU, 32GB memory, 4 disks in raid10, cassandra 0.8.8, RF=3 and Hadoop. We four keyspaces, one is the large one, it has 2 CFs, one is kind of index, the other holds data. There are about 7milinon rows, mean row size is 7kB. We run several mapreduce tasks, most of them just reads from cassandra and writes to hdfs, but one fetch rows from cassnadra, compute something and write it back, for each row we compute three new json values, about 1kB each (they get overwritten next round).
We got lots and lots of Timeout exceptions, LiveSSTablesCount over 100. Reapir doesn't finish even in 24hours, reading from the other keyspaces timeouts as well. We set compaction_throughput_mb_per_sec: 0 but it didn't help. Did we choose wrong DB for our usecase?
