Hi Andrei, Hi Nicolai, Which version of C* are you using ?
There are some recommendations about the max storage per node : http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/performance-improvements-in-cassandra-1-2 "For 1.0 we recommend 300-500GB. For 1.2 we are looking to be able to handle 10x (3-5TB)". I have the feeling that those recommendations are sensitive according many criteria such as : - your hardware - the compaction strategy - ... It looks that LCS lower those limitations. Increasing the size of sstables might help if you have enough CPU and you can put more load on your I/O system (@Andrei, I am interested by the results of your experimentation about large sstable files) >From my point of view, there are some usage patterns where it is better to have many small servers than a few large servers. Probably, it is better to have many small servers if you need LCS for large tables. Just my 2 cents.
