Hi All, I am using Cassandra 1.2.4. I wonder if update operation has *permanent* impacts on read operation. Below is the scenario.
Previously, a read only workload runs against one column family and has 4000 qps. Later, a read-update mixed workload runs against the same column family. After that, the read only workload runs again but it could not get 4000 qps, only get 3500 qps. After a manual major compaction is issued through command line, the read only workload gets 3600 qps which seems to tell major compaction does not help much. Did anyone have similar experiences? Any idea why this is happening? Thanks. -- Regards, Jiaan
