It'll be about the same overhead as selecting the entire partition, since that's essentially what you're doing.
I created a tlp-stress workload this morning but haven't merged it into master yet. I need to do a little cleanup and I might tweak it a little, but if you're feeling adventurous you can build the branch yourself: https://github.com/thelastpickle/tlp-stress/tree/jon/106-allow-filtering-workload Once you do an in place build (./gradlew shadowJar), you'll probably want to do something like the following: bin/tlp-stress run AllowFiltering -p 1k -d 1h -r .5 --populate 1m --field.allow_filtering.payload='random(100,200)' --compaction lcs That's running against C* on my laptop. Here's what all those arguments do: -p 1k # 1000 partitions -d 1h # run for 1 hour (-d = duration) -r .5 # (50% reads) --populate 1m # (pre populate with 1 million rows) --field.allow_filtering.payload='random(100,200)' # use 100 - 200 bytes for the payload. I assume there will be other data other than just the record, this will let you size each row accordingly --compaction lcs # use leveled compaction You can tweak the params as needed. If you've got a cluster up, use the --host to point to it. If you don't have a cluster up, you can spin one up in AWS in about 5-10 minutes using our tools: https://thelastpickle.com/tlp-cluster/ Happy testing!
