Hi, I'd like my app to stream a large number of events into Cassandra that originate from the same network input stream. If I create one batch mutation, can I just keep appending events to the Cassandra batch until I'm done, or are there some practical considerations about doing this (e.g. too much stuff buffering up on the client or server side, visibility of the data within the batch that hasn't been closed by the client yet)? Barring any discussion about atomicity, if I were able to stream a largish source into Cassandra, what would happen if the client crashed and didn't close the batch? Or is this kind of thing just a normal occurrence that Cassandra has to be aware of anyway?
Cheers, Ben
