It depends on a number of factors, such as compaction strategy and read patterns. I recommend sticking to the 100MB per partition limit (and I aim for significantly less than that). If you're doing time series with TWCS & TTL'ed data and small enough windows, and you're only querying for a small

I disagree. We had several over 150MB in 3.11 and we were able to break cluster doing r/w from these partitions in a short period of time. On Thu, Sep 13, 2018, 12:42 Gedeon Kamga wrote: > Folks, > > Based on the information found here > https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse-planning/doc/planning/pl

Folks, Based on the information found here https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse-planning/doc/planning/planningPartitionSize.html , the recommended limit for a partition size is 100MB. Even though, DataStax clearly states that this is a rule of thumb, some team members are claiming that our Cassandra *

Hi All, I ran nodetool cfstats (v2.0.14) on a keyspace and found that there are a few large partitions. I assume that since "Compacted partition maximum bytes": 802187438 (~800 MB) and since "Compacted partition mean bytes": 100465 (~100 KB), it means that most partitions

What Cassandra version? CMS or G1? What are your timeouts set to? "GC activity" - Even if there isn't a lot of activity per se maybe there is a single long pause happening. I have seen large partitions cause lots of allocation fast. Looking at SSTable Levels in nodetool cfstats

that I need to redesign the table to avoid such large partitions. What specifically goes wrong that results in the instability I am seeing? Or put another way, what issues will compacting really large partitions cause? Initially I thought that there was high GC activity, but after closer inspection
