Sort of. Depends. In Cassandra automatic memory management means the server can support more CF's and it has apparently been tested to 100's or 1000's of CF's. Having lots of CF's will impact performance by putting memory and IO under pressure though.
If you have 10's you should not have to worry too much. Best thing is to test and post your findings. Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 5/01/2012, at 11:49 AM, Michael Cetrulo wrote: > in a traditional database it's not a good a idea to have hundreds of tables > but is it also bad to have hundreds of column families in cassandra? thank > you.
