1 KS with 24 CF's will use roughly the same resources as 24 KS's with 1 CF. Each CF:
* loads the bloom filter for each SSTable * samples the index for each sstable * uses row and key cache * has a current memtable and potentially memtables waiting to flush. * had secondary index CF's I would generally avoid a data model that calls for CF's to be added in response to new entities or new data. Older data will move moved to larger files, and not included in compaction for newer data. Hope that helps. ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Developer @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 23/05/2012, at 3:31 AM, Luís Ferreira wrote: > I have 24 keyspaces, each with a columns family and am considering changing > it to 1 keyspace with 24 CFs.
