Disk space utilization by from some Cassandra

2019-08-21 Thread yanga.zukelwa
Good day, 

I’m running the monitoring script for disk space utilization set the benchmark 
to 50%. Currently am getting the alerts from some of the nodes
About disk space greater than 50%. 

Is there a way, I can quickly figure out why the space has increased and how I 
can maintain the disk space used by Cassandra to be below the benchmark at all 
the times. 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks for feedback. 

Just to elaborate more, I am currently writing 600m rows per hour and need to 
understand if this is about on target or if there are better ways to write or 
perhaps structure the keyspaces and table structures.

And I can use the Cassandra Stress tool to get potential maximum throughput 
stats. Or use the schema provided(keyspace/table definitions for a stress test)


Cassandra, being a scale-out database, can load any arbitrary number of records 
per hour. 

The best way to do this is for your given data model, find what your max 
throughput is on a single node by scaling the number of clients until you start 
seeing errors (or hit your latency SLA) then pull back by 15-20%. From there, 
it's a matter of linearly scaling clients and nodes until you hit your desired 
throughput. 

I recommend taking a look at TLP-Stress as it's a bit easier to use and 
understand:  https://thelastpickle.com/blog/2018/10/31/tlp-stress-intro.html  

Best.

Have you tried ycsa?
It is a tool from yahoo for stress testing nosql databases.
