Re: Counter column impossible to delete and re-insert
Hello Clément This is a known anti-pattern. You should never re-use a deleted counter column otherwise there will be unpredictable result for the counter value. Le 6 nov. 2014 08:45, Clément Fumey clement@gmail.com a écrit : Hi, I have a table with counter column . When I insert (update) a row, delete it and try to re-insert, it fail to re-insert the row. Here is the commands i use : CREATE TABLE test( testId int, year int, testCounter counter, PRIMARY KEY (testId, year) )WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (year DESC); UPDATE test SET testcounter = testcounter +5 WHERE testid = 2 AND year = 2014; DELETE FROM test WHERE testid = 2 AND year = 2014; UPDATE test SET testcounter = testcounter +5 WHERE testid = 2 AND year = 2014; The last command failed, there is no error message but the table is empty after it. Is that normal? Am I doing something wrong? Regards Clément
Re: Storing files in Cassandra with Spring Data / Astyanax
You'd better off asking on the Spring Data Cassandra mailing list. I think that very few people not to say nobody tried integrating Astyanax with Spring Data Cassandra... Le 6 nov. 2014 08:17, Wim Deblauwe wim.debla...@gmail.com a écrit : Hi, We are building an application where we install it on-premise, usually there is no internet connection at all there. As I am using Cassandra for storing everything else in the application, it would be very convenient to also use Cassandra for those files so I don't have to set up 2 distributed systems for each installation we do. Is there documentation somewhere on how to integrate/get started with Astyanax with Spring Data Cassandra ? regards, Wim 2014-11-05 23:40 GMT+01:00 Redmumba redmu...@gmail.com: Astyanax isn't deprecated; that user is wrong and is downvoted--and has a comment mentioning the same.

read after write inconsistent even on a one node cluster
We're doing development on a single node cluster (and yes of course we're not really deploying that way), and we're getting inconsistent behavior on reads after writes. We write values to our keyspaces and then immediately read the values back (in our Cucumber tests). About 20% of the time we get the old value.if we wait 1 second and redo the query (within the same java method) we get the new value. This is all happening on a single node...how is this possible? We're using 2.0.9 and the java client. Though it shouldn't matter given a single node cluster I set the consistency level to ALL with no effect. I've read CASSANDRA-876 which seems spot-on but it was closed as won't-fix...and I don't see what the solution is. Thanks in advance for any help. Brian Tarbox -- http://about.me/BrianTarbox
Re: read after write inconsistent even on a one node cluster
If this is just for doing tests to make sure you get back the data you expect, I would recommend looking some sort of eventually construct in your testing. We use Specs2 as our testing framework, and our write-then-read tests look something like this: someDAO.write(someObject) eventually { someDAO.read(someObject.id) mustEqual someObject } This will retry the read repeatedly over a short duration.

Re: read after write inconsistent even on a one node cluster
Thanks. Right now its just for testing but in general we can't guard against multiple users ending up the one writes and then one reads. It would be one thing if the read just got old data but we're seeing it return wrong data...i.e. data that doesn't correspond to any particular version of the object.

authentication with cassandra-stress 2.1
Is there a way to authenticate to cassandra using the new cassandra-stress tool released with cassandra 2.1? It appears as if the '-un' (username) and '-pw' (password) switches have been removed from the tool. In the 2.0 version, this is the command I would run: 'cassandra-stress -D nodesfile -un -pw ' The 2.1 version has been totally reworked, and that command fails completely. Looking through the documentation reveals nothing about authenication to cassandra. Google searches have turned up nothing since it's so new. I did try one suggestion about putting authentication information into ~/.cassandra/cqlshrc This seems to work for the cqlsh tool, but not for cassandra-stress. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Re: read after write inconsistent even on a one node cluster
For cqlengine we do quite a bit of write then read to ensure data was written correctly, across 1.2, 2.0, and 2.1. For what it's worth, I've never seen this issue come up. On a single node, Cassandra only acks the write after it's been written into the memtable. So, you'd expect to see the most recent data. A possibility - if you're running in a VM, it's possible the clock isn't incrementing in real time? I've seen this happen with uuid1 generation - I was getting duplicates if I generated them fast enough. Perhaps you're writing 2 values one right after the other and they're getting the same millisecond precision timestamp.

C* on Fusion IO
We’re looking at switching data centers and they’re offering pretty aggressive pricing on boxes with fusion IO cards. 2x 1.2TB Fusion IO 128GB RAM 20 cores. now.. this isn’t the typical cassandra box. Most people are running multiple nodes to scale out vs scale vertically. But these boxes are priced aggressively and honestly I think that cassandra would be able to saturate the gigabit ethernet port on these machines. so it *might* be that these are TOO powerful in a way. Curious if others are running in this config and what tuning options were required to get it to work.

Re: C* on Fusion IO
You should get pretty great performance with those FusionIO cards. One thing I watch out for whenever scaling Cassandra vertically is compaction times, which probably won't matter here.

Re: C* on Fusion IO
This was one of my biggest issues too. We were expecting to be at 5-10 nodes to start with and then 20-40 nodes in 60-90 days. But this means we can run all of our database on 1 box :-P … but realistically two. Which means if one box goes offline then I’m at 50% capacity. That and I don’t even have the option for three replicas. I think the ideal would be like a 600-1.2TB drive and something like 32-64GB of RAM and 3x more physical boxes. But they don’t have that config unfortunately. On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 12:54 PM, Christopher Brodt ch...@uberbrodt.net wrote: You should get pretty great performance with those FusionIO cards.

Re: C* on Fusion IO
Yep. The trouble with FIOs is that they almost completely remove your disk throughput problems, so then you're constrained by CPU. Concurrent compactors and concurrent writes are two params that come to mind but there are likely others. @kevin. I hear you. 5TB is sort of a maximum that DataStax has been recommending per an instance with SSDs (there's lots of factors at play though; YMMV and I encourage you to test it out). I would also note that the more RAM you can get for Cassandra, the better. Newer version of C* store caches, indexes, and memtables in native memory and many of those are proportional to the size of the datasets on the box. 64GB would probably work for around 1TB without row caching, but if you have a lot of indexes or column families 128GB is not unreasonable. Otherwise, your proposed ideal config would be...ideal.

I think the ideal scenarios for C* is about 800GB of SSD, say 64GB of RAM, and like = 5 nodes. this way you have a fairly big install to justify going with C* but also you can run things like zookeeper and if one of your nodes goes offline you only lose 20% of your capacity.

Multiple SSD disks per sever? Ideal config?
I’m curious what people are doing with multiple SSDs per server. I think there are two main paths: - RAID 0 them… the problem here is that RAID0 is not a panacea and the drives may or may not see better IO throughput. - use N cassandra instances per box (or containers) and have one C* node accessing each SSD. The upside here is that Cassandra sees the drive directly. The downside is that you would probably have to cheat and tell C* that all the containers on that box are on the same “rack” so C* doesn’t schedule two replicas on the same box. Thoughts?

Re: Multiple SSD disks per sever? Ideal config?
If optimizing for IO, use Cassandra's JBOD configuration (list each disk under data directories in cassandra.yaml). It would put sstables on the disk thats least used. If want to optimize for disk space, I'd go with RAID0. Will probably want to tune concurrent reader/writers, stream throughput (if have network for it) and compaction throughput if you end up with IO to spare.

I see, thanks for explaining what that means. If we are using SSD, then reordering/merging has less impact than traditional mechanical hard disk, so using SSD drive probably can deal with increased concurrent_read better. (?)
