Re: minimum bandwidth requirement between two Geo Redundant sites of Cassandra database

We run between US/EU regions on AWS with more than 45ms latency without any issues. Just use an appropriate amount of replicas in each datacenter and make use of the appropriate consistency level (e.g local_quoram) On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Daniels, Kelly wrote: > We will be anxious to co

Just make sure you understand the effect of consistency levels on your performance. You (probably) don't want to be going over the WAN for reads etc. We run across the US/EU AWS regions and don't have any problems with higher RTT. On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 2:51 AM, Siddharth Karandikar < siddharth.

Re: no change observed in read latency after switching from EBS to SSD storage

2014-09-17 Thread Alex Major
When you say you moved from EBS to SSD, do you mean the EBS HDD drives to EBS SSD drives? Or instance SSD drives? The m3.large only comes with 32GB of instance based SSD storage. If you're using EBS SSD drives then network will still be the slowest thing so switching won't likely make much of a dif

Have you changed the appropriate config settings so that Cassandra will run with only 2GB RAM? You shouldn't find the nodes go down. Check out this blog post http://www.opensourceconnections.com/2013/08/31/building-the-perfect-cassandra-test-environment/, it outlines the configuration settings nee

Hi Mike, We had issues with the ephemeral drives when we first got started, although we never got to the bottom of it so I can't help much with troubleshooting unfortunately. Contrary to a lot of the comments on the mailing list we've actually had a lot more success with EBS drives (PIOPs!). I'd d

Hi Mike, We've run a small (4 node) cluster in the EU region since September last year. We run across all 3 availability zones in the EU region, with 2 nodes in one AZ and then a further node in each AZ. The latency difference between running inside of and between AZ's has been minimal in our expe

Hey, Based on current discussions it looks like it will be in C* 1.1, but won't be in the default cql package - you'll need to opt into cql3 driver as there are some incompatible BC changes and they want to give an easier migration. It will be in the default standard distribution in 1.2. Alex. O
