Hi, Cassandra is heavily multithreaded. If the load demands it will make use of your 8 cores.
I dont know the startup code, but I would assume it would be parallelized if neccessary/possible. Afaik there were optimizations already made to reduce the startup time. Therefore I would assume any optimizations left would not be so easy. cheers, Christian Spriegel On Wed, Jun 5, 2013 at 11:04 PM, srmore <comom...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > We are thinking of going with Cassandra on a 8 core machine, are there any > optimizations that can help us here ? > > I have seen that during startup stage Cassandra uses only one core, is > there a way we can speed up the startup process ? > > Thanks ! >
