Hi, 

I'm doing get_slice on huge rows (3 million columns) and even though I am doing 
it iteratively I keep getting TimeoutExceptions. I've tried to change the 
number of columns fetched but it did not work. 

I have a 5 machine cluster, each with 4GB of which 3 are dedicated to 
cassandra's heap, but still the all consume all of the memory and get huge IO 
wait due to the amout of reads.

I am running tests with 100 clients all performing multiple operations mostly 
get_slice, get and multi_get, but the timeouts only occur in the get_slice.

Does this have anything to do with cassandra's ability (or lack thereof) to 
keep the rows in memory? Or am I doing anything wrong? Any tips?

Cumpliments,
Luís Ferreira
