Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8225:
----------------------------------------------
Is CSV even the primary source of imported data in C*? On common CSV-exported
datasets, does 1 second vs 1 minute even matter?
Continuing to use COPY FROM + a java tool behind the scenes has its issues.
COPY TO/FROM are being kept in sync wrt accepted formatting, and generally any
cqlsh changes are reflected there. Now we'd have to emulate that logic in Java,
too. And copy it first.
We also do still have CASSANDRA-7793 and CASSANDRA-7794 open. They won't give
us anything close to a 200x improvement, but 1) they might get us to something
acceptable and 2) they are relatively LHF.
Besides, since CASSANDRA-5894 it's not that complicated to write an
sstablewriter.
So this would be nice to have, but I'm not sure the ROI is there.

> Via [~schumacr],
> bq. I pulled down a sourceforge data generator and created a moc file of
> 500,000 rows that had an incrementing sequence number, date, and SSN. I then
> used our COPY command and MySQL's LOAD DATA INFILE to load the file on my
> Mac. Results were:
> {noformat}
> mysql> load data infile '/Users/robin/dev/datagen3.txt' into table p_test
> fields terminated by ',';
> Query OK, 500000 rows affected (2.18 sec)
> {noformat}
> C* 2.1.0 (pre-CASSANDRA-7405)
> {noformat}
> cqlsh:dev> copy p_test from '/Users/robin/dev/datagen3.txt' with
> delimiter=',';
> 500000 rows imported in 16 minutes and 45.485 seconds.
> {noformat}
> Cassandra 2.1.1:
> {noformat}
> cqlsh:dev> copy p_test from '/Users/robin/dev/datagen3.txt' with
> delimiter=',';
> Processed 500000 rows; Write: 4037.46 rows/s
> 500000 rows imported in 2 minutes and 3.058 seconds.
> {noformat}
> [jbellis] 7405 gets us almost an order of magnitude improvement.
> Unfortunately we're still almost 2 orders slower than mysql.
> I don't think we can continue to tell people, "use sstableloader instead."
> The number of users sophisticated enough to use the sstable writers is small
> and (relatively) decreasing as our user base expands.
