Hello!
I'm a beginner in C* and I'm quite struggling with it. I’d like to measure the performance of some Cassandra-Range-Queries. The idea is to execute multidimensional range-queries on Cassandra. E.g. there is a given table of 1million rows with 10 columns and I like to execute some queries like “select count(*) from testable where d=1 and v1<10 and v2 >20 and v3 <45 and v4>70 … allow filtering”. This kind of queries is very slow in C* and soon the tables are bigger, I get a read-timeout probably caused by long scan operations. In further tests I like to extend the dimensions to more than 200 hundreds and the rows to 100millions, but actually I can’t handle this small table. Should reorganize the data or is it impossible to perform such high multi-dimensional queries on Cassandra? The setup: Cassandra is installed on a single node with 2 TB disk space and 180GB Ram. Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160.
