Used to manage/develop for cassandra 1.0.8 for quite sometime. Although 1.0 was rocking stable but we encountered various problems as load per node grow beyond 500gb. upgrading is one of the solution but may not be the solution for you but I strongly recommend you upgrade to 1.1 or 1.2. we upgraded the java on the cassandra node and cassandra to 1.1 and a lot of problems went away.
As for your use cases, a quick solution would probably to just add nodes, or study client reading pattern so not on a node hot row (the has on the key), or the client configuration on your application and/or the keyspace replication. hth, jason On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 2:35 PM, Shuo Chen <chenatu2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > We have a small cassandra cluster with 4 nodes for production.
