Another Question on node density, in this scenario: 1. we should keep time series data of some years for a heavy write system in Cassandra (> 10K Ops in seconds)
2. the system is insert only and inserted data would never be updated 3. in partition key, we used number of months since 1970, so data for every month would be on separate partitions 4. because of rule 2, after the end of month previous partitions would never be accessed for write requests 5. more than 90% of read requests would concern current month partitions, so we merely access Old data, we should just keep them for that 10% of reports! 6. The overall read in comparison to writes are so small (like 0.0001 % of overall time) So, finally the question: Even in this scenario would the active data be the whole data (this month + all previous months)? or the one which would be accessed for most reads and writes (only the past two months)? Could i use more than 3TB per node for this scenario? something like: CPU: 5 Core RAM: 32 GB Disk: 5 TB Sent using Zoho Mail
