Russ Hatch commented on CASSANDRA-6553: --------------------------------------- Those four commands all run without error. If I try the uniform syntax suggested above an exception bubbles up: {noformat} java.lang.IllegalStateException: Variable column counts not supported for counters at org.apache.cassandra.stress.operations.ThriftCounterAdder.<init>(ThriftCounterAdder.java:37) at org.apache.cassandra.stress.StressAction.createOperation(StressAction.java:493) at org.apache.cassandra.stress.StressAction.createOperation(StressAction.java:446) at org.apache.cassandra.stress.StressAction.access$300(StressAction.java:38) at org.apache.cassandra.stress.StressAction$Consumer.run(StressAction.java:292) {noformat} I think that's how I settled on the funky syntax you noticed above. I tried many different combinations but couldn't seem to get the partition/cell counts I wanted any other way. > Benchmark counter improvements (counters++) > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6553 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6553 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Test > Reporter: Ryan McGuire > Assignee: Russ Hatch > Fix For: 2.1 beta2 > > > Benchmark the difference in performance between CASSANDRA-6504 and trunk. > * Updating totally unrelated counters (different partitions) > * Updating the same counters a lot (same cells in the same partition) > * Different cells in the same few partitions (hot counter partition) > benchmark: > https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/1218bcacba7edefaf56cf8440d0aea5794c89a1e > (old counters) > compared to: > https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/714c423360c36da2a2b365efaf9c5c4f623ed133 > (new counters) > So far, the above changes should only affect the write path. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
