1. What does your data look like – 100 small integers or short strings and dates, or... 100 massive blobs?
2. What operations are you doing on those rows – reading and updating individual columns, or mostly full-row upserts? 3. 100 columns in a CQL row is not so unreasonable, per se. 4. The ultimate answer to any “how will it perform” question is to do a “proof of concept” implementation since it really all depends on your actual data and hardware setup, such as memory, cpu, I/O, and networking – IOW, all the non-Cassandra factors can easily dwarf Cassandra itself. 5. As far as 1K tables with 10 columns vs. 100 tables with 100 columns – it should primarily be your queries (and updates) that drive the decision. Do fewer tables and more columns make your queries (and updates) a lot simpler and cleaner? -- Jack Krupansky From: tommaso barbugli Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2014 7:58 AM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: keyspace with hundreds of columnfamilies hi, how is a table with hundreds columns is going to perform? i am moving from 1k column families each with 10 columns to 100 CFs each with 100 columns. thank you tommaso On Friday, 11 July 2014, Sourabh Agrawal <iitr.sour...@gmail.com> wrote: Yes, what about CQL style columns?
