Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-1278:
---------------------------------------------

+1 on more visibility.  It'd be nice if it printed the filename and the time it 
took for each time, since just having the percentages reset is a bit confusing. 
 Also, this should respect SS.RING_DELAY instead of arbitrarily choosing an 
amount of time to wait for gossip.

I loaded 10M rows with stress.java defaults, then bulkloaded them from one 
machine to another in 75s (accounting for gossip delay.)  This totaled 3.1G of 
data, so about 44MB/s.  Conversely, it took about 15 minutes to load with 
stress.

> Make bulk loading into Cassandra less crappy, more pluggable

> Currently bulk loading into Cassandra is a black art.  People are either 
> directed to just do it responsibly with thrift or a higher level client, or 
> they have to explore the contrib/bmt example - 
> http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/BinaryMemtable  That contrib module requires 
> delving into the code to find out how it works and then applying it to the 
> given problem.  Using either method, the user also needs to keep in mind that 
> overloading the cluster is possible - which will hopefully be addressed in 
> CASSANDRA-685
> This improvement would be to create a contrib module or set of documents 
> dealing with bulk loading.  Perhaps it could include code in the Core to make 
> it more pluggable for external clients of different types.
> It is just that this is something that many that are new to Cassandra need to 
> do - bulk load their data into Cassandra.
