In general, I recommend that full table scans are a bad use case for Cassandra. Another technology might be a better choice.

But supposing that it is a one off requirement, say a weekly or a fortnightly task, a spark cluster could be an added overhead with additional capacity, resource planning as far as operations / maintenance is concerned. So this could be thought a simple substitute for a single threaded scan without additional efforts to setup and maintain another technology.

Moreover, if someone who isn't familiar with spark, and might be new to map filter reduce etc. operations, could also use the utility for some simple operations assuming a sequential scan of the cassandra table.

For some use case, a spark cluster was required, but for some reason we couldn't create spark cluster. Hence, one may use this utility to iterate through the entire table at very high speed. Had to find a work around, that would be faster than paging on result set.

A few more features planned in the next one(if there is one) like, custom policy keeping in mind the replication of token range on specific nodes, fine graining the token range(for more speedup), and a few more. I think, as fine graining a token range, If one token range is split further in say, 2-3 parts, divided among threads, this would exploit the possible parallelism on a large scaled out cluster. And, as you mentioned the JIRA, streaming of request, that would of huge help with further splitting the range. Thanks once again for your valuable comments. :-) Regards, Siddharth Verma ________________________________ The information in this Internet Email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
