Hi Team, I have this 3 node cluster. I am writing data to these node at the rate of 2,000 records/second. What I observed that if I do inserts. (Means records for those keys does not exist, my column family has 0 records to start with) then I have better write performacne, low SSTable count, low pending compaction and write latency is acceptable and CPU utilization on each node between 35% to 85%.
When I ran same test but for update this time (means records already exists in Column family with same key), I observed that my SSTable count gone high 3 times. Pending compactions gone high more than 2 times and write latency has gone high too and CPU utilization was almost 92% to 100%. What is a reason of deteriorating Update performance v/s Insert performance. Since this is critical you help is highly appriciated. P.S. I also observed that high number of pending Mutation Stage on my nodetool tpstats. Thanks, Jay
