Would there be any reason why I can't write more than 875 writes/sec to a cluster of 2 cassandra boxes? They are quad core machines with 8gb of ram running raid 10, so not huge servers….but certainly enough to handle a much larger load than that.
We are feeding data into it through a Flume sink. The disk io remains nearly nil along with load average across the cluster, but writes peak there. The data being written in is small (150-bytes). VNstat reveals ethernet bandwidth not exceeding 2mb/sec. Not sure if this is a cassandra issue or a flume issue. Thoughts? Trevor Francis
