(Sorry, just saw this line about the workload.) Redis? If you have a high write rate and are discarding 100% of data after a TTL, perhaps a data-store with immutable data files that reconciles row fragments on read is not ideal for your use case? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6654 Is probably also worth a read... =Rob
