Hi Branislav, I quickly went through the code and noticed that you are updating RF from code and expecting that Cassandra would automatically distribute replicas as per the new RF. I think this is not how it works. After updating the RF, you need to run repair on all the nodes to make sure that data replicas are as per the new RF. Please refer to https://docs.datastax.com/en/cql/3.1/cql/cql_using/update_ks_rf_t.html . This would give you reliable results. It would be good if you explain the exact purpose of your exercise. Tests seem more in academic interest. You are adding several variables in your tests but each of these params have entirely different purpose: 1. Batch/No Batch depends on business atomicity needs. 2. Read/ No read is dependent on business requirement 3. RF depends on fault tolerance needed

I wrote a small benchmarking tool in java that mirrors (read, write) operations that we do in the real project. Problem is that it is not scaling like it should. The program runs two tests: one using batch statement and one without using the batch. The operation sequence is: optional select, insert, update, insert. I run the tool on my server with 128 threads (# of threads has no influence on the performance), creating usually 100K resources for testing purposes. The average results (operations per second) with the use of batch statement are: Replication Factor = 1 with reading without reading 1-node cluster 37K 46K 2-node cluster 37K 47K 3-node cluster 39K 70K Replication Factor = 2 with reading without reading 2-node cluster 21K 40K 3-node cluster 30K 48K The average results (operations per second) without the use of batch statement are: Replication Factor = 1 with reading without reading 1-node cluster 31K 20K 2-node cluster 38K 39K 3-node cluster 45K 87K Replication Factor = 2 with reading without reading 2-node cluster 19K 22K 3-node cluster 26K 36K The Cassandra VMs specs are: 16 CPUs, 16GB and two 32GB of RAM, at least 30GB of disk space for each node. Non SSD, each VM is on separate physical server. The code is available herehttps://github.com/bjanosik/CassandraBenchTool.git . It can be built with Maven and then you can use jar in target directory withjava -jar target/cassandra-test-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar. Thank you for any help.
