We don't have cursors in the RDBMS sense of things. If you are using thrift the recommendation is to use connection pooling and re-use connections for different requests. Note that you can not multiplex queries over the same thrift connection, you must wait for the response before issuing another request. The native binary transport allows multiplexing though.
In general you should use one of the pre build client libraries as they will take care of connection pooling etc for you https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions Cheers ----------------- Aaron Morton Freelance Cassandra Consultant New Zealand @aaronmorton http://www.thelastpickle.com On 16/05/2013, at 9:03 AM, Sam Mandes <eng.salaman...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > Is using multiple cursors simultaneously on the same C* connection a good > practice? > > I've an internal api for a project running thrift, I then need to query > something from C*.
