Thanks for the clarification. This leads to my previous discussion with Ryan. As we already did what coordinators do in client side, why don’t we do one step more: break the UNLOGGED batch statements into several small batch statements, each of which contains the statements with the same partition key. And send them to different coordinators based on TokenAwarePolicy? This will save lots of RPC times, right? The reason I asked is I have a use case where importing huge data into Cassandra is a very common case, and all these importing do not need to be atomic. thanks, - Dong > > -- > Tyler Hobbs > DataStax <http://datastax.com/>
