Is there a way to do Read and Set at Cassandra level?

2016-11-05 Thread Kant Kodali
I have a requirement where I need to know last value that is written successfully so I could read that value and do some computation and include it in the subsequent write. For now we are doing read before write which significantly degrades the performance. Light weight transactions are more of a c

"But then don't I need to evict for every batch of writes?" Yes, that's why I think an in-memory distributed data structure is the good fit for your scenario. Using a log structured merged tree like C* for this use-case is not the most efficient choice On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 11:52 AM, Kant Kodali

DataStax role in Cassandra and the ASF

I would hope the board would engage with criticism substantively, and that "long emails" to boards@ would be responded to on their merit, without a grassroots effort to apply pressure. In lieu of that, it is very hard for the community to "speak with one voice" because we do not know what actions
