Hi, Is there a recommended data size for Reads/Writes in Cassandra? I tried inserting 10 MB objects and the latency I got was pretty high. Also, I was never able to insert larger objects (say 50 MB) since Cassandra kept crashing when I tried that.
Here is my experiment setup: I used two Large VMs in EC2 within the same data-center. Inserts have ALL consistency (strong consistency). The latencies were as follows: Data size: 10 MB 1 MB 100 Bytes Latency: 250ms 50ms 8ms I've also done the same for two Large VMs across two data-centers. The latencies were around: Data size: 10 MB 1 MB 100 Bytes Latency: 1200ms 800ms 80ms 1) Ain't the 10 MB latency extremely high? 2) Is there a recommended data size to use with Cassandra (e.g., a few bytes up to 1 MB)? 3) Also, I tried inserting 50 MB data but Cassandra kept crashing. Does anybody know why? I thought the max data size should be up to 2 GB? Thanks, Mohammad PS. Here is my python code I use to insert into Cassandra. I put my stopwatch timers around the insert statement: fh = open(TEST_FILE,'r') data = str(fh.read()) POOL = ConnectionPool(keyspace, server_list=['localhost:9160'], timeout=None) USER = ColumnFamily(POOL, 'User') USER.insert('Ali', {'data': data},write_consistency_level=pycassa.cassandra.ttypes.ConsistencyLevel.ALL) -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Recommended-data-size-for-Reads-Writes-in-Cassandra-tp7589141.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
