I require durability for inserts to my column families so I'm using batch mode to insert data. However, I have some column families which I use for less important data (indexes) which are much more write intensive. If I could change the commit log setting only for them to periodic instead of batch, it would improve performance for me, without losing too much guarantees.
Is that even possible? I'm using Cassandra 0.7 (and yes, I know it's bad, I will upgrade soon) Thank you
