Thank you both very much, Erick and Steve. Steve,
1. You are right on the target. I realized it later last week and did additional tests. I am in the process summarizing it and I am going to put it here as a comparison reference for others. 2. It is good to know. 3. Yes, I am using EBS. I understand its implication for the overall performance, but I think it is not the main cause for the observation. 4. I also tested CL.ONE vs. CL.QUORUM. I am summarizing that part too. -- View this message in context: http://cassandra-user-incubator-apache-org.3065146.n2.nabble.com/Denormalization-leads-to-terrible-rather-than-better-Cassandra-performance-I-am-really-puzzled-tp7600561p7600618.html Sent from the cassandra-u...@incubator.apache.org mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
