Hi, I am setting up new cluster for cassandra 1.2.5, and first time using cassandra compression. I read about the compressors, and it gathered Snappy Compressor gives better compression but is sslightly slower than LZ4 compressor. Just wanted to know your experience and/or opinions as to *Snappy vs

It surely is coming! Being an early version we wanted to focus on nailing a couple of things first before supporting multiple OS versions. On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 1:11 PM, Keith Freeman <8fo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sounds like a good tool, but isn't it odd to only have Windows & Mac > versions?

Sounds like a good tool, but isn't it odd to only have Windows & Mac versions? My impression has been that most users run Cassandra on Linux. Is a Linux version coming (please!)? On 08/09/2013 01:27 PM, Alex Popescu wrote: On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 10:12 AM, David McNelis

DevCenter is using the new java driver [1] which works only with CQL3 and the binary protocol so older C*/DSE version will not be supported. I know that upgrading your cluster just to be able to use DevCenter doesn't make sense, but hopefully features in the 1.2 and 2.0 will justify the upgrade ;-)

Is DevCenter a project that might end up open sourced? The original blog post calls it free, and if its destined to stay so, I'd think that would be a benefit (being OSS) to the community at large. On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 1:02 PM, Rahul Gupta wrote: > Hello, > > ** ** > > Is there backward
